Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship

The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship portal is a primary global platform and knowledge hub operated in close partnership with the World Economic Forum (WEF). Founded in 1998 by Hilde and Klaus Schwab, the foundation highlights, connects, and scales outstanding social innovation models across the globe. The portal provides open access to extensive research publications, impact reports, case studies, and policy frameworks focused on social innovation, intrapreneurship, non-profit governance, and social enterprise scaling. It features the global network of Schwab Foundation Awardees—spanning social entrepreneurs, corporate social intrapreneurs, public-sector social innovators, and collective social action leaders. Key themes explored on the platform include sustainable development, inclusive economic growth, ESG integration, healthcare access, and environmental stewardship. By offering practical frameworks for systems change and multi-stakeholder collaboration, this digital resource serves as an essential open educational tool for students, academics, social entrepreneurs, corporate sustainability leaders, and policymakers in social innovation, business administration, public policy, and non-profit management.
