Business For Purpose Program 2019 for Young Social Entrepreneurs (Fully Funded), Germany


In partnership with TOMS shoes and social entrepreneur Sara Nuru, we are launching a very special edition ChangemakerXchange on 'Business for Purpose', for which we are looking for the most disruptive and creative young social entrepreneurs with social business models from across Europe and beyond.
ChangemakerXchange is a global collaborative community for over 600 of the world's top young changemakers to connect, share and develop cross-border collaborations.
We will bring this group together in a unique collaborative summit format close to Berlin from May 9th-13th, after which they will get the chance to become part of a global community of innovators. The summit will be followed by an accelerator program for this group to advance their impact to the next level, diving deeper into issues like system change, fundraising, holistic well-being and stakeholder engagement.
Please make sure to read the following information carefully before applying, also check out our values below (all of them co-created with our community) and take a moment to reflect if they are a fit for you, note we are not just an event nor a platform focused on networking or self-promotion for 'hero-entrepreneurs' but rather a genuine and authentic community of supportive peers. If your application is successful, the summit in May will be just the beginning, there will multiple opportunities to co-create and learn with our global community.
