“GSIF gives aspiring social entrepreneurs opportunities to learn and share on social enterprise and innovation with people from all sectors. It challenges everyone to create positive social change in their community. Only through a collective effort can we achieve the social impact required to create a better world for the current and future generations.”

Jet Li, SIP Distinguished Fellow

“This economic crisis will create a broad range of the poor and near-poor who will fall between the cracks of our social security net. The effort of Social Innovation Park in finding creative solutions to society’s many challenges is a commendable one, as its multi-fold achievements will go toward nurturing and strengthening the social capital of this country. What I like about the process in community building is observing how the SIP champions are spending a significant amount of time in exploring and fixing solutions together. For me, this is the most humanising expression of participatory governance.”

Claire Chiang, SIP Fellow

“GSIF 2008 was an excellent learning experience for me. I would like to define GSIF as the sea of opportunities. It identifies the seeds of positive change around the world and the activities within the Forum germinate the seeds into trees of positivity. There are tremendous networking options for social entrepreneurs and vast source of knowledge for researchers.”

Amit Wanchoo, SIP Fellow

"Being awarded SIP Fellow encourages CityCare in the work we do. SIP has strong connections to Schwab Foundation and this exposes social enterprises like ours to the global community of innovative do-gooders."

Tan Ye Peng, SIP Fellow

Lim Chu Chong, Managing Director, DBS Enterprise Banking

"GSIF 2008 was an eye opener for me. The enthusiasm of the various participants to develop businesses which address social causes and at the same time being viable was truly motivating. It gave me a lot to think about – it was not just the topics discussed, but also the people that we met. The experience was unique."
