Community of Practice: Business Models for Inclusive Growth 

On Tuesday 19th March, EDAS will be holding its third of three half-day discussion events on the topic of inclusive growth.

This event, on Business Models for Inclusive Growth, will include presentations and discussion on three models that promote sustainable and inclusive growth, including Social Enterprise, B-Corp and Employee Ownership. 

Following the presentations there will be some facilitated discussion sessions so that attendees can feed-in their own experiences, and to discuss any obstacles that might exist.
