About the #SIS

Social Innovation Summit Green Grafik Element

With the # SIS conference, the association Social Entrepreneurship BW contributes to the education and networking of relevant actors in the context of social innovation and entrepreneurship. The goal of the #SIS conference is to have social innovators with decision makers from different backgrounds to network sectors, to impart technical and methodical knowledge and to work together on (digital) solutions for social challenges.

Social Innovation Summit 2019

Social Innovation Summit Green Grafik Element

The Social Innovation Summit 2019 (# SIS19) was a two-day international conference on digital social innovation. With the motto „Shaping the digital Future“ social innovators and decision makers, out of business, science, politics and society, came together to learn about the fundamental ethical, economic and social issues on digitization – and to critically discuss, network and gain inspiration for their own work. Unlike relevant conferences, the program did not contain any lengthy lectures, but numerous entertaining formats, such as practice-oriented workshops, high-profile keynotes, a hackathon and cultural program.

HACKDAY@SIS19

The HACKDAY@SIS19 was a fast-track acceleration program for international impact-driven ventures, who are working in the field of supply chain transparency driving a more sustainable future.

Ventures in this field were given the exceptional opportunity to take their business to the next level with the support of leading industry know-how and a meaningful network from major corporate partners. During a one day rigorous Hackathon, selected ventures worked on their predefined challenges with tech and business development experts from Dell Technologies, SAP, Volkswagen Group and high-skilled students.
