The Arab World Social Innovation Forum (AWSIF) is the region’s premier platform for gathering an international community of social entrepreneurs and accelerating the local-to-global and global-to-local movement for social change. Leveraging Ashoka’s position as the world’s largest platform for social entrepreneurs, AWSIF will convene over 400 attendees – among them, distinguished social entrepreneurs, leaders in the business and corporate sector, and policymakers and thought leaders – from the region and around the world in order to introduce and support the growth of the most successful solutions from the Global South to the world, and in turn to source the best innovations from the Global North to solve local problems.
