Following the launching of the Global Social Venture Competition, Berytech and USJ led a university roadshow during the month of November, meeting students in several faculties, in order to introduce social entrepreneurship as well as the challenging opportunities in the framework of this competition.

 

Presentations started with an overview of the social entrepreneurship ecosystem, encouraging a new business culture by creating companies based on social goals leading to sustainable development and social innovation. Then, the support of USJ and Berytech was exposed offering all the expertise to help social entrepreneurs including guidance, incubation, coaching and networking with strategic partners, professionals, and stakeholders in the field.

Following the roadshow, GSVC interested most of the students and brought more than 45 social projects which are currently in coaching phase with Berytech to improve their application before applying to the executive summary round on January 3.
Berytech and USJ are proud to cooperate with ESSEC business school by launching this initiative in Lebanon and the region, and help spread this new business culture leading to a sustainable economy with social values.
