The Social Enterprise World Forum in Milan had plenty of notable attendees but it was the state of the sector in Italy that dominated the conversation.
Social enterprises in Milan continue to surprise, both with the social problems they are tackling and the ingenious forms of innovation they are using to do it.
The 2015 Social Enterprise World Forum has kicked off in style at the World EXPO in Milan. On the agenda – how to develop a stronger social enterprise eco-system, engaging young people with social entrepreneurship and impact investing.
It's not every day that the Prime Minister invites you to hop on a plane to Milan. But that's exactly what happened to CEO of Belu Karen Lynch, who this week flew the social enterprise flag at the EXPO UK National Day.
