We should expect no less from all actors in society, government and business. Join us on a transformative journey and help us empower everyone to create a more inclusive, sustainable future.

And it will provide new answers, showcasing the work of leading social innovators who are already building a future in which truly everyone can be a part of creating solutions.The City of Hamburg is the perfect partner for the Ashoka Changemaker Summit 2024.
Over the past years, Hamburg has organized the needs of social entrepreneurs and the opportunities for social innovation into a citywide “Social Entrepreneurship Strategy”, backed by the government and over 100 organizations.
Together with Ashoka, Hamburg and many other partners in the city are committed to the goal of True Participation.In the months leading up to the Summit, Ashoka is co-organizing a program in Hamburg that brings together Ashoka Fellows, young changemakers and youth activists, government officials, philanthropists, and business leaders to explore how true participation can power positive change in the city.

In September, Programa GIF will train its existing cohort of certified consultants on the expanded ESGIF tool. In addition to this training, Programa GIF will host a Forum on cutting edge topics in the realm of social governance, including: the role of governance in climate change response, governance’s role in promoting SEPM, governance in the new digital age, and ESG requirements for international funders.
