Social Innovation Community (China)
The most valuable resource to help successful entrepreneurs learn and grow is other successful entrepreneurs, from people who have “been there, done that.” These individuals often become their most credible sources for information and insight as they share similar responsibilities, stresses, opportunities and a passion for growth.
FYSE actively encourages a community of social entrepreneurs and people interested in the field in China. Together with our members, local and international thought leaders and social entrepreneurs we host diverse workshops and talks to spark and drive social entrepreneurship, providing an seedbed for social innovators to come together and work on their ventures among a group of likeminds.

Echo Liu – Finding your Passion to Change the World
