Overview

SEWF Digital will champion the potential of social enterprises – small and large, rural and urban – to bring about inclusive and sustainable economic development. The week-long programme will feature keynotes and plenaries from three different world zones with live Q&A, online networking, and sessions organised by partners and participants. Speakers will include leading social entrepreneurs and changemakers from across the world with over 5,000 participants from over 50 countries. Buy Social USA is proud to be the US promotional partner for the SEWF event and is seeking to bring together some examples of inclusive, impactful and innovative social enterprise companies and leaders from across the country.

Call for submissions

    1. Racial Justice, Social Justice, Environmental impact, Black and Minority Led social enterprises.
