Over the past decade social entrepreneurship has emerged as a powerful way of meeting global human needs. Social entrepreneurship is a fast growing movement that uses the tools of business to create positive results for society at every level. By developing and using innovative market solutions, social entrepreneurs improve our communities and the world in which we live.

The INSEAD Social Entrepreneurship Programme (ISEP), brings INSEAD’s strength as a global business education leader to this dynamic field.

The programme aims to combine theory and practice equally by balancing the deep academic knowledge of the faculty, with the discussions and insights from expert speakers. It is designed to focus on the business skills and frameworks that will help entrepreneurs grow their social ventures and improve their effectiveness and social impact. The discussion of case studies developed by ISEP’s faculty provides a platform to analyze the complex issues and challenges that social entrepreneurs face. Finally, ISEP creates a forum for exchange of experiences and practical knowledge that continues after the week-long programme, constituting a vibrant alumni network.

Programme participants come from a diverse set of countries and activities. Many are award winning entrepreneurs identified through our partnership with international leaders in social entrepreneurship such as Ashoka, The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship and UnLtd.
