Prof. Yunus on CNN about the role of Social Business in the next 5-10 years

On CNN an interesting interview of Prof. Yunus about Social Business and its role in market economy.

I like this sentence:"Young people are not graduating with their job offers in their hands any more. They want to make a difference and they see that making money is not what is important. They want to change the world."

Thanks Prof. Yunus for your vision and example, it is a source of great inspiration for me.

Watch the video.

On September 30th, Il Sole 24 Ore/Nova has an entire page about the social business to cure Thalassemia in Bangladesh with Prof. Yunus (Grameen-Cure2Children) and in India (Thalassemia Social Business), where I'm personally involved.

I've been interviewed about the business plan and how we plan to be financially self-sustainable, like every social business has to be.

Repubblica/Affari e Finanza writes about my speech at the Innovation Camp

At the Innovation Camp (startup summer school), organized by Innovation Lab, I gave a speech about my involvment in healt care (thalassemia and club foot) Social Business in South Asia and Africa.

Repubblica/Affari e Finanza has an article about the event, and I'm cited.
You can also find a post (in italian) on the blog of Giuliano Iacobelli.

During the event, the partecipants have asked me many questions, and this is another clue that the Social Business idea interests many people, especially young ones.

Thanks again to my friend Augusto Coppola for the opportunity.
