Ashoka, world’s largest community of social entrepreneurs, with support from its global network of Fellows, business entrepreneurs, policy makers, investors, academics, and journalists works collectively to ensure that social entrepreneurs and their innovations continue to inspire a new generation of local changemakers to create positive social change.
During the past three decades after its launch, Ashoka has responded to a wider range of programs and initiatives to deal with the citizen sector’s growing needs by launching thousands of social entrepreneurs and helping them succeed.
In continuation of its efforts to achieve its objectives, Ashoka has now taken up to explore the challenges facing the world today and as a result it has determined 20 main issues that require an immediate attention of excellent entrepreneurs (social or business).
What Ashoka is looking for these 20 innovators is that they must be outstanding social or business entrepreneurs that are capable of bringing about the required changes for solving the issues facing the world today by taking up the key patterns to scale, filling up the gap, and developing new strategies. Ashoka will provide the platform for these entrepreneurs to be the driving force behind the high impact change.
