The problems that the participating teams are concerned about are mostly to solve the five aspects of society: production and sales of agricultural products, environmental protection and plastic reduction, education for school children, regional revitalization, and assisting the disadvantaged in employment.
Among them, the agricultural theme is the most popular. Whether it’s the youth returning to their hometowns to do farming, or deeply involved in food and agriculture education, and establishing agricultural product sales platforms, there are 15 participating companies, accounting for more than one-third. It shows that support for small farmers, friendly production, safe food and safe use are important for people’s livelihood, and also the starting point of vision for many social enterprises.
Secondly, there are also nine enterprises concerned about environmental issues, including carbon emission management, solar panel construction, beach cleaning, eco-tourism, R&D and sales of plastic-reducing products.
When COVID-19 is threatening the health of people around the world, there is also a social enterprise that built an information platform for disaster reporting and material management this year. Seeing the information gap between the supply and demand of medical supplies, and cutting into the mask map with the innovative technology application is also a highlight. In the future, if it can find a business model that works, the energy will be even stronger.
Another major feature of this year’s competition is that there are many familiar faces in the competition and finalists. This shows the Star of Social Enterprises Selection of “Global Views Monthly” is echoing the spirit of social cohesion, and resonating with the social enterprise ecosystem.
