Accelerate Impact Business - Ecosystem Building 2024
13
Impact businesses are critical in addressing social and environmental challenges, but they need the right
conditions to grow and succeed. They need a supportive ecosystem that connects them to markets,
policy frameworks, and capacity-building opportunities. We invest in strategic partnerships, advocacy, and
knowledge-sharing to create an environment where social enterprises can scale their impact. By fostering
collaboration among businesses, governments, and investors, we help build a sustainable and inclusive
economy.
The Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship, hosted by the Schwab Foundation in collaboration with the
World Economic Forum, is the largest multi-stakeholder coalition of its kind. With over 110 members - including
corporations, investors, philanthropists, governments, and industry leaders - the alliance drives a global social
innovation movement.
As a key contributor and strategic partner, SAP recognizes the critical role of innovation and a robust
global network for enterprises to prosper. This is why it is a member of The Global Alliance for Social
Entrepreneurship which amplifies both these elements. This partnership goes beyond traditional corporate
philanthropy, delivering measurable benefits and impact for social enterprises that put people and planet first.
