Workshop “Innovation and Sustainable Entrepreneurship”

To ultimately increase the welfare and wellbeing of people and communities, social innovation refers to the creation and implementation of novel solutions that entail conceptual, process, product, or organizational change. Numerous projects carried out by the social economy and civil society have shown to be innovative in addressing socio-economic and environmental issues while promoting economic growth. A supportive policy framework is required to enable public, nonprofit, and private actors to co-create and implement socially innovative solutions, thereby contributing to addressing socio-economic issues, strengthening territorial resilience, and better coping with upcoming shocks. That is necessary to realize the potential of social innovation fully. Covid-19 has an impact on both the socioeconomics of nations and the lives of individuals. As a result, encouraging social innovation is crucial for achieving sustainable socio-economic growth.

The “Innovation and Sustainable Entrepreneurship” workshop will be present new viewpoints on social innovation and examine how it might be applied in modern societies in Vietnam.
