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’. The program builds on these findings and provides access and resources for social intrapreneurs to help them scale their solutions.

There’s the beautiful synergies in nature that allow humans and trees to breathe each other’s waste, and there’s the way that organisations function through a distributed network of interacting social animals. In all these examples, shared purpose and communication (of one type or another) are key.

The COVID-19 crisis illustrates the need for innovation from within companies by "social intrapreneurs."
