We are excited to announce that Young Farmers Champions Network was selected as a winner of the SOCAP17 Social entrepreneur scholarship. He joins a team of other 125 promising entrepreneurs who will be coming to SOCAP from 32 countries across the globe. Social Capital Markets (SOCAP) recognizes these innovative entrepreneurs for their commitment to building businesses that will create a positive impact in their communities and across the world.
SOCAP (Social Capital Markets) is a vanguard of the emerging global impact economy — convening ideas and capital to catalyze world change. They are a network of investors, entrepreneurs, and social impact leaders addressing the world’s toughest challenges through market-based solutions. For more than ten years, it has achieved our goals through a series of events, initiatives, and partnerships that leverage the power and effectiveness of collaboration.
Our world-renowned conference series is dedicated to increasing the flow of capital toward social good. SOCAP’s flagship event each fall in San Francisco is the leading gathering for impact investors and social entrepreneurs. SOCAP takes a unique approach that emphasizes cross-sector convening and gathers voices across a broad spectrum to achieve unexpected yet impactful connections. From the leading edge to established players, SOCAP brings together global innovators, investors, foundations, governments, institutions, and social entrepreneurs to build the world we want to leave to future generations. SOCAP actively seek out opportunities to accelerate the market at the intersection of money and meaning and, in pursuit of that goal, have convened more than 20,000 people since our first event in 2008.
In addition to the annual SOCAP conference, SOCAP offers year-round events to continue important conversations around money and meaning.
