As part of the sustainability lecture series "UPB for Future", a lecture by Sumaya Islam will take place on Thursday, 10 July at 4.15 pm in lecture hall L1. Her lecture will show how so-called "social entrepreneurs" use innovative approaches to solve social and ecological challenges. The focus is not on profit, but on the positive impact on the environment and society. Students are encouraged to become entrepreneurs themselves and develop business models that are not only economically successful, but also create sustainable social or ecological added value. Entrepreneurship is thus presented as a tool for a better future.
