It was a vibrant week for the city's social innovation circle as three major events, namely the Philanthropy for Better Cities Forum (Forum), the Social Enterprise Summit (SE Summit) and the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF), were held in a row from 22nd to 27th September under the collective title of Hong Kong International Philanthropy and Social Enterprise Week.
The SIE Fund had played actively in the events. Kim Salkeld, Head of Efficiency Unit and Secretary-General of the Fund, spoke at one of the discussion sessions of the Forum on the role of the public sector in driving cross-sector collaboration. Apart from being the co-organiser of the SE Summit, the Efficiency Unit also hosted a session on Creating Shared Value with Patricia Lau, Deputy Head of Efficiency Unit, serving as the facilitator. The SIE Fund was also one of the supporting organisations of the SEWF.
As in previous years, we held separate sessions for our stakeholders and partners and invited forum speakers to talk about subjects on the latest development in the social innovation arena. This year, two seminars, one on food support and the other on B-corp and shared value, were held and the audience engaged in fruitful discussion with the speakers.
