 Today we are lacking social inclusion. We cannot rely on governments alone to provide social infrastructure and safety nets. We must mobilize individuals who in entrepreneurial and innovative ways tackle the big problems we are faced with now and in the future. The Schwab Foundation gives the social entrepreneurs a network to exchange expertise and experiences. It gives them a global presence and visibility. Social entrepreneurs show all the other leaders who are part of the forum that social responsibility is more important than just making money. Having access to the World Economic Forum for any social entrepreneur gives us a greater chance to scale our impact. Thousands of initiatives on a local level that improve the lives of millions of people. Let's welcome Hilda Schwab. Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Schwab Foundation. I clearly remember back in 1998 that social entrepreneurship was a new concept to us, combining market discipline and business practices with a social mission and deep commitment to those less fortunate. This idea captured our imagination and so Klaus and I decided to create and fund the Schwab Foundation for social entrepreneurship in order to find and give a platform to social entrepreneurs at World Economic Forum events. 350 social entrepreneurs were haunted over the last 20 years and most importantly, those Schwab Fellows formed their own community of experience exchange and strong professional and personal relations. They are a global family. They are united by their passion, creativity, persistence and optimism that a more just and equitable world is possible. We just concluded a two-day social entrepreneur summit with 150 of our community members and the 2018 awardees that we will be honoured today. Many of them will participate in the programme of the Sustainable Impact Development Summit until tomorrow evening and contribute their expertise and experience. I would like to associate Dr. Precious Moloimocepe with us with this ceremony applauding her steadfast leadership and support of this special community. It is now my great pleasure to introduce to you the 2018 social entrepreneurs of the year and I invite each awardee to join me on stage when I call their name. Rukti Tigabo.

Please join me in congratulating all of them for their tremendous efforts and please get to know them, learn about their models and determine how you can support their work. And Berger, if you allow me at my 30 seconds at the end, the sustainable development goals are wonderful and everybody aspires to fulfill them. But if you listen to the social entrepreneurs and read their models, I think they are already doing everything what the polls are about. So thank you and this concludes our award ceremony.
