Our mission is to find, support, scale and celebrate the world’s leading, grassroots social enterprises that are developing solutions to the world’s biggest challenges and achieving the Global Goals in their locality, region or globally.
Together In Action is a movement of corporations, non-profits, foundations, social enterprise and dedicated individuals who believe that social enterprise is a key way that the world can address the varied challenges that it faces, achieve the Global Goals, build back better from the COVID19 pandemic and its effects, and ensure a sustainable climate for future generations.
We’re doing this in two ways:
Leading a Global Search for the most impactful youth-led, tech-enabled social enterprise on the planet.
Building a Global Innovations Platform to connect investors, organisations and philanthropists with world-changing social enterprise.
The Global Goals
Together In Action will focus on identifying, scaling and supporting social enterprise that focuses on achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, also known as Global Goals, wherever they are in the world.
Together In Action and our partners believe the Global Goals are the best framework to create a world that is more equitable and sustainable for all – and plays a key role in building back from the effects of the COVID19 pandemic.
