“The only thing more powerful than an innovative idea in the hands of an entrepreneur who aims to change the world is when these innovators come together and start collaborating, as we saw in last year’s Techonomy conference. Ashoka is eager to help Techonomy turn this year’s conversation into collaborative action and impact.” — Bill Drayton, founder and CEO, Ashoka
Ashoka (www.ashoka.org) is the global association of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs and the pioneer of the social entrepreneurship movement — men and women with system-changing solutions for the world’s most urgent social problems. Ashoka helps ensure the success of any entity, region or field by finding the best new ideas, by cultivating the changemaker talent to act on those ideas, and by designing new ways to allow major change to happen.
As Techonomy’s Activation Partner, Ashoka and its global network of nearly 3,000 leading social entrepreneurs aims to move forward the most promising ideas, partnerships and initiatives coming out of the event.
Ashoka invites you to extend and enhance your Techonomy experience through “Techonomy +”—an entrée into the Ashoka community and its platform for changing the world. Through “Techonomy +,” you will have the opportunity to engage with Ashoka for an entire year as a changemaker, collaborator, investor, business leader, and even as a parent.
Ashoka will arrange for a meeting with you to discuss your social change goals for yourself, your business, your community and/or your family. Ashoka will assemble a group of experts in your areas of interest. Then Ashoka will work with you to tailor an engagement specific to your goals.
Your engagement can range from accessing Ashoka’s wealth of knowledge in specific issue areas, investment opportunities (philanthropic or blended returns), customized services that support innovation and talent in your business, and even support for your child/children to develop the changemaker skills that will prepare them for success in their work, school and life. “Techonomy +” participants will also receive invitations to Ashoka events and gatherings of Ashoka’s global network.
For more information on “Techonomy +” participation and pricing, please e-mail Techonomy@ashoka.org or call Joshua Collins at +1 651-260-6075.
