Social Entrepreneurship - a growing movement in Asia Pacific

This write up by Yvonne Li explains the underrepresentation of Asians in the global social entrepreneurship scene.  Nonetheless, social entrepreneurship in Asia is gaining firmer ground and it’s only a matter of time when the rest of the world applies the SE innovations from this region. 

As a response to Social Edge’s provocative piece entitled “Are the only innovations in social entrepreneurship Anglo-Saxon?”, Avantage Ventures would like to present eight case studies of sustainable social enterprises in the Asia Pacific region. These case studies provide evidence of innovative and progressive social enterprises in Asia and will present valuable opportunities for evaluating the state of social entrepreneurship in the East. The eight case studies will be presented over a period of four months to encourage dialogue and discussion.
