EN•ACT•US
A community of student, academic and business leaders committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to transform lives and shape a better more sustainable world.
- entrepreneurial—initiating ideas and solutions with passion and innovation.
- action—the experience of sustainable impact, activated with integrity.
- us—student, academic and business leaders collaborating to create a better world.
The members of Enactus believe that entrepreneurial action can create a better world for us all. Guided by academic professionals and supported by business executives, Enactus students apply their talents and innovative thinking to create community development projects focused on areas such as entrepreneurship, food security, access to water and women’s economic empowerment that empower others to improve their livelihoods.
Like in business, competition in the social sector encourages creativity and rewards results. At the Enactus World Cup, the National Champion team from each of the 36 participating countries have the opportunity to showcase the entrepreneurial action they took to raise the standard of living for others. Top global business executives serve as judges, evaluating the teams’ performance and ultimately select one as the Enactus World Champion.
In addition, event participants have the opportunityto challenge the status-quo of thought leaders as they engage in an interactive dialogue with global action leaders. Through a series of forums, networking activities and breakout sessions attendees are able to experience the energy created when world business leaders intersect with student innovators, and how together they are able to motivate personal change and drive new ideas.
And throughout it all, Enactus World Cup celebrates the diversity of culture, an abundance of ideas and synergy of cross-generational leadership in action.
WHEN WE COMPETE TO IMPROVE LIVES,
