DAY 1 – THURSDAY 14 SEPT

SOCIAL INNOVATORS OF TOMORROW

There is a tremendous desire among our young people to leverage their talents
and work with businesses to design and scale creative solutions to social
issues. How can we best translate this passion into innovations for a positive
impact in Hong Kong?

The Social Innovators of Tomorrow programme will engage budding social
entrepreneurs in Hong Kong to discuss the imperative of sustainability within
the context of inclusive business models, inherent business opportunities for
social impact, as well as the alignment of career and skillset development
within this emerging space.

In partnership with

BESGO, CUHK

BESGO, a program backed by CUHK Business School, aims to educate and inspire the
next generation of change-makers on how social good, social innovation, and
sustainable practices can shape businesses and society’s future. With activities
like training workshops, talks, and real-world projects, BESGO helps deepen
students’ understanding of social needs and sustainability issues. By connecting
educators, business professionals, social innovators, and future change-makers,
BESGO fosters collaboration and creates shared value towards building a better
future for all.

Our sustainability goals for 2023:

1. Increase the awareness and understanding of social and environmental issues
among students and participants by providing educational resources,
workshops, and field visits.
2. Foster partnerships and collaborations with local and international
organizations that align with BESGO’s mission and values, and promote
sustainability and social good.
3. Engage and empower students to take action and create positive social and
environmental impacts through BESGO’s programs and activities, and provide
opportunities for them to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world
projects.

Our initiative in accelerating sustainable development in Hong Kong:

BESGO has organized various activities to promote social innovation, social
good, and sustainable practices. In the past, we have designed and produced
teaching and learning materials, conducted seminars and workshops, and
facilitated visits to community and social enterprises. We also published
feature articles and teaching cases, and presented at local and international
conferences. These initiatives aim to raise awareness, deepen understanding, and
provide opportunities for students to create real impact and foster
collaboration for a better future.

GREEN LEADERS OF TOMORROW

As the transition to sustainable business models and strategies takes centre
stage, it is imperative to ensure the next generation of decision-makers is
empowered with the appropriate knowledge and skillset to take up the baton.

The Green Leaders of Tomorrow programme is being designed to facilitate a
two-way exchange and engagement between young professionals and business
leaders. How should sustainability education be imparted in Hong Kong? How are
different industries working to fill the green talent gap? How can we create
space to bring young people on board, and also help realise their potential as
changemakers for a sustainable future?

In partnership with

2041 HONG KONG

2041 Hong Kong is a youth-led organisation that strives to build a community
seeking to inspire, advocate, and catalyse change for sustainability and climate
action. We aspire to promote and uphold the #AntarcticSpirit by building a more
resilient and sustainable Hong Kong.

Our sustainability goals for 2023:

* Increase youth uptake and education in sustainability
* Collaborate with education and business institutions
* Promote the #AntarcticSpirit

Our initiative in accelerating sustainable development in Hong Kong

We are edging towards a sustainable future for Hong Kong through the power of
youths in our community. Our efforts are coordinated by our three branches:
Consulting, Communications, and Community.

The Consulting Branch helps corporations and institutions address ESG and
sustainability opportunities, and engage with critical stakeholders. The
Communications Branch looks to share 2041 Hong Kong’s story with the rest of the
world, with the aim to inspire more global climate action. And finally, our
Community Branch partners with schools and institutions to organise events and
solutions-based projects advocating for programs of environmental education to
promote youth uptake in sustainability.
