Yunus Centre is proud to present the 6th annual Social Business Day to be held on May 28, 2015 in Dhaka! Hosted by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Professor Muhammad Yunus, this year’s event will have the theme of Turning Unemployment into Entrepreneurship’, continuing on last year’s discussion to look at ways that social business can tackle youth unemployment .

Social Business Day 2015 is an opportunity for you to explore the concept of social business and your role in this global movement alongside leading experts in the field.
