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 />
