Introduction
At GEI, we believe that social innovation is key to addressing complex global challenges. Our Social Innovation programs empower students and professionals to develop entrepreneurial solutions that positively impact communities in Africa and Asia. Through these immersive experiences, participants learn how to harness creativity, leadership, and strategic thinking to design solutions that create long-term social change.
Learning by Doing
In countries like Vietnam, Kenya, and South Africa, GEI participants collaborate with local businesses, NGOs, and startups to address real-world problems. Whether working on sustainable agriculture projects or improving access to clean energy, participants develop a deeper understanding of how to scale social ventures and foster economic growth.
Global Connections, Local Impact
By working alongside local innovators, participants gain insight into the unique social and cultural factors that shape these regions. The result is a transformative experience that enhances problem-solving skills, fosters global connections, and strengthens participants’ ability to create impact in their own communities.
