Deadline: 08-Sep-20
Applications are now open for 2020 Global Sankalp Awards 2020 to recognise the work of those entrepreneurs who have been building a new system, an enabling ecosystem, which provides the right resources and environment for entrepreneurs to thrive and design the new world, a new movement to propel massive collective change, shared and valued by all.
The theme for this year’s Global Summit is looking at an Entrepreneurial Renaissance. The entrepreneurs are the driving force that can transform the unprecedented challenges into a new playing field; to turn the civilisation towards a paradigm that balances profits with collective societal good.
At this historic crossroads, the Sankalp community across the globe shall once again convene in November 2020, virtually, to steer and leverage the vast expertise of all the global stakeholders to use this window of opportunity to shape the recovery of civilisation.
