It will be held on April 13, Friday, at the Multipurpose Hall, Henry Sy Building, De La Salle University.
The Forum will highlight the use of digital technology and creative thinking, to spark ideas in creating social innovation for sustainable development. It will discuss social innovation ecosystem in the Philippines and learn best shared practices from international experts and thought leaders. The event will gather over 250 participants from national and local government, private sectors, NGOs and civil society sector, academic institutions, and venture philantrophy in Asia.
“The complexity of innovation, investment for inclusive impact is the cornerstone of sustainable growth. Look forward to bring all the actors who are involved in active social impact,” said Sreenivas Narayanan, Managing Director of ASSIST.
