STIR Lecture, Financial meltdown? What’s the Big Issue?
With Nigel Kershaw, Kresse Wesling and Jonathan Robinson
Our extraordinary times call for extraordinary innovation in the way we live and do business. This STIR lecture will take you on a venture adventure that could change the way you do both.
With the financial crisis putting traditional funding under pressure, one sector is flourishing: social enterprise. Increasingly attracting interest from a wider investment community seeking ethical investments, social enterprise generates turnover in excess of £27bn per annum, and contributes more than £8bn to GDP each year. This is a new kind of business championed by a new breed of entrepreneur: bold, business-savvy and dynamic – but also driven by conscience.
Our three speakers are among the most exciting in their fields: a maverick investor, an environmental product pioneer and a social innovator, each of whom, in his or her own way, is showing that making a profit can work hand-in-hand with making a difference.
