Seoul Declaration of the Asian Social Entrepreneurs Summit 2008
We social entrepreneurs from 8 countries and regions, gathered here in Seoul, Korea at Olympic Parktel for
the Asian Social Entrepreneurs Summit (ASES) with the host of Korean friends & sponsors. We would like to
express our appreciation to all the organizations, sponsors, volunteers and friends that made this happen.
We dream of changing our society through social entrepreneurship. This dream had once seemed far away
and unattainable in the near future. But today, as we stand together here in Seoul, sharing with each other the
unbelievable, amazing achievements and progress made over the recent years, we are now confident to that
this once seemingly unachievable dream may soon become a reality.
Poverty, unemployment, and environmental degradation, are some of the major problems facing Asians
today. We believe that social entrepreneurship could be an alternative to address various crucial issues in the
modern society such as imbalances and environmental destruction, etc. The sacrifices and the efforts made
by our forerunners who had predicted the future have not been in vain. Waves of long sought after changes
are now seen all over Asia. We, who are gathered here are passionate to build upon these sparks of changes
to bring about further innovations and advancements.
We propose to do the following to promote the social entrepreneurship in Asia in order to build an alternative
society encompassing all regions;
● With an entrepreneurial mind set, we will earnestly search for remedies to the problems faced
in each nation. We will share successful models of social entrepreneurship that works in the
unique geographical, economical, and cultural setting in Asia.
● We will cooperate and communicate with each other in solving the distinct social and eco-
nomic problems facing each country. We will engage ourselves in dynamic knowledge
exchange and promote innovation on the ASES Internet homepage using it as a platform for
communication.
● We will support establishment of strong partnerships between government, business, and
non-governmental sectors to solve social and economic problems and to achieve sustainable
growth in business management.
● We will collaborate to promote an environment in which social enterprises in Asia can be sup-
ported to success.
● We will present visions and goals designed to promote global wide cooperation and communi-
cation among social entrepreneurs to bring about global changes and innovations.
We will regularly hold summits and gather together for open discussions. We can no longer ignore the social
problems. It is a reality that affects each one of us, and also our families and friends. The successful outcomes
and inspiring stories from social enterprise experience should be shared with everyone in the world. We can
dream and hope because many of us are standing together and bringing changes and innovations to change
the world.
