Investing, scaling and going public - can social enterprises ever take off in developing countries?


Time: 
10:00am
Location: 
TBD

What are social enterprises’ key challenges in scaling up and developing a mature business model?

Is there a fundamental trade-off between good unit economics and serving the BoP?

What is the future of social enterprises in developing countries (being acquired/going public)?

Answers to these questions often differ, depending on business interests and the source of capital on each side. This panel brings together high profile social entrepreneurs, investors and consultants to debate these issues, find common ground and shed light on differences in opinion along the process of investment and financing strategies, business model focus, scaling and going public.

Issues:
  • International Development
  • Social Enterprise
