when do social enterprises carry a burden and when do they have a head start? What are the unique<br />

and markets? We will learn from successful and failed social ventures in different competitive landscapes.<br />

The role of entrepreneurship in Creating Sustainable Social Change: Challenges and Success<br />

Stories in latin america<br />

Social entrepreneurs are drivers of innovation who, combining their persistence and creativity, attempt to<br />

bring forth ideas that aim to address social problems. Through the expert commentary of social entrepreneurs<br />

as well as organizations with vast experience supporting the operations and financing of social entrepreneurs,<br />

this panel seeks to shed clarity on the challenges that social entrepreneurs face in running their<br />

ventures, and how their success can come hand in hand with sustainability. The discussion, which will<br />

center on real world examples with a specific focus on Latin America, will try to identify whether there are<br />

any common elements that are shared in the stories of successful social entrepreneurs.<br />
