ASBC SOCIAL BUSINESS WEEK
Oct 30th to Nov 2nd 2023
This year we endeavor to focus deeper on Social Enterprise: Beyond Hybridity topics to create and share the experience by providing sustainable livelihood for those who need. This conference seeks to give entrepreneurs, managers, researchers, academics, and students to come together to discuss concepts and themes in Social Business. This will make it possible to collaborate and exchange ideas issues related to social business especially on issues related to the reduction in poverty, unemployment as well as net carbon emission. By doing this, we hope that the conference's results will help our community make strong resolutions on how they can move closer towards the attainment of the SDG goal.
In conjunction of the conference, we are organizing Social Business Week from 30th October – 3rd November 2023 with the support from Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM), MyFuture Jobs, MyHarapan, SWM Environment and Albukhary International University (AIU) whereby they will showcase their innovative products and retail items at MPH and Student Station.
