Contributors to the Global Innovation Index 2024

This year’s special GII theme looks to the future of social entrepreneurship and asks: What will it take for social entrepreneurship to catalyze transformative innovation and societal impact?
With in-depth case studies and contributions by experts, the 2024 edition of the GII addresses three critical questions for unleashing the potential of social entrepreneurship:
 
  • What is the state of social entrepreneurship globally?
  • How do social enterprises create positive impact, and what role does innovation play?
  • How can policy help to unlock the promise of social entrepreneurship?
