 Today we are lacking social inclusion. We must mobilize individuals who in an entrepreneurial and innovative way tackle the big problems we are faced with now and in the future. Social innovation is really about the process of change. The most obvious and visible expression of it has been social entrepreneurship. We have these unique skillsets, be the nerve center that interlinks a new configuration that learns to work together in a more effective way. It means that you are creating practice and methodology which is possible for others to pick up. The secret is not to orchestrate everything, it's to build people up to the point where they start to go out and do the work on a much greater scale. If you are understanding towards their issues, involving them in your work, the sympathy raises a voice. We have to show that it's possible so people can see themselves that there's hope. They can dream for themselves. It's not just about the work that you do and the impact you create, but also about how it converts to something of big ticket relevance globally. We want to bring things to scale from helping 100 people to helping 100 million. I think technology in that respect plays such a pivotal role. Technological change happens so quickly and we are able to use that and disrupt the existing system. Now that more communities want to join our system, I have to think how to redesign ourselves in such a way that it can be replicated and it can be scaled. Without the network, we would have not had the opportunity to leapfrog into other areas and develop broader. For the last two decades, the Shrub Foundation has embedded social entrepreneurs into the World Economic Forum network. In this next chapter, we look forward to building an intersectoral community of social innovators, bringing the system into the room to understand, build and deliver on the change we know we need. We have the opportunity to begin to hold hands and to allow us to share our models for greater impact at the global level. Please join me in welcoming Hilda Schwab, the chairperson and co-founder of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship. Hilda. Very inspiring panel. It was amazing and I'm really happy and proud to say that all these four panelists are social innovators of 2019. And we are very proud that you are representing all the categories in society who work in this sense. And a special thank you to Precious, of course, for being such a wonderful partner for our foundation and passionate about social entrepreneurship as well as Patris and the Smolzepi Foundation. So thank you. Excellencies, Governor Newsom, thank you very much for joining us here, ladies and gentlemen and dear friends. We have since 20 years now, the Schwab Foundation nurtured a community of over 350 leading social entrepreneurs coming from 70 countries. They share many characteristics. They have been at the forefront of driving change, accelerating how we solve problems and imagine the new futures through experimentation and practicing. But social entrepreneurs are no longer working in isolation. The Schwab Foundation recognizes the champions of social innovation in the social sector, but also in business, government and academia. We see social innovation as an ecosystem of pioneering actors with a common purpose. Based on the multi-stakeholder model of the World Economic Forum, we have introduced three new award categories as we encourage this dynamic community to build platforms for greater and more sustained change. We are introducing these new categories in recognition of the fact that social innovation requires visionary leaders in all sectors. There is ever growing interest from governments, business and universities to develop and grow their own approaches to social innovation, often hand in hand with social entrepreneurs. After the celebration of 20-year anniversary last year, we enter now in a new phase. The new award categories will allow the Schwab Foundation to directly engage leaders across the broader ecosystem and to foster deeper and more impactful collaborations with social entrepreneurs. I have now the great pleasure to announce the 2019 Schwab Foundation awardees, and I will start with the social entrepreneurs who have been chosen and recognized throughout the year at regional events of the World Economic Forum. Their explicit mission is to solve a social or environmental problem which will benefit society in general, with an emphasis on low-income, marginalized or vulnerable populations.
