INVESTMED Seminar: “Social innovation in Business”

The sixth seminar in the 12-month INVESTMED training programme will take place on Wednesday 30th March, at 10:00 CET.  The seminar is co-organised by the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association (EMEA), Beyond Group, and LUMSA University, project partners of the EU-funded INVESTMED project.

The transition to a more sustainable and fairer economic model means valuing not only the environment but also the integrity of people, ensuring that fundamental human rights and social inclusion are protected.

Speakers Nadine Asmar from Leadership for Impact, Tamara Zakharia from UNICEF, and Cristian Bevacqua from Oxfam Italy will explore the opportunities presented by social innovation in business models, and how it can promote creative and innovative processes to foster a prosperous and fair social transformation.
