About Event

Social Business Day is an annual conference organized by the Yunus Centre to celebrate the groundbreaking idea of social business and to highlight new developments.

Social Business Day with Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus showcases the concept of social business with leading experts in the field. The annual event attracts the participation of international and local actors, corporate and social leaders, NGOs, students, and innovators, and connects them with the social business network. It also creates an opportunity for participants to engage in different interactive plenary sessions and workshops to broaden their understanding in specific areas of interest.

This year, the theme will be “A world of three zeros - Zero Poverty, Zero Unemployment, Zero Net Carbon Emissions”.

Instead of the traditional venue of Dhaka, this year Social Business Day will be held in Bengaluru, India at Infosys Campus, Electronic City. This will be a new and exciting experience for all. It will be held on June 28-29, 2018, organized by Yunus Centre and Yunus Social Business.
