Who are the Unusual Pioneers?
The Unusual Pioneers is a joint platform from Yunus Social Business, Porticus, and Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship (sister organisation of the World Economic Forum) inspired by our ongoing research collaboration to dig deeper into ‘corporate social intrapreneurship’.
