Currently in the society there are n number of challenges such as mental health, health, societal segregation, sustainability, climate change etc. Even though Nordic countries are known for innovation, there is still a lot that needs to be done especially in terms of policies, regulations and cross sector collaboration. Swedish government has invested around 150million SEK to support social entrepreneurs and help them grow. Nowadays the complexity of challenges require social entrepreneurs to open up to the possibility of collaborating with different stakeholders. Ashoka.org envisions a world in which everyone is a changemaker : a world where all citizens are powerful and contribute to change in positive ways.

Listen to my conversation with Emma Lindgren, Director of Ashoka Nordic where we talk about how Ashoka Nordic supports social entrepreneurs to take a systems thinking approach to solve the complex societal problems.
