INTRO
Creating a business to help communities goes beyond profit: it generates social value. Ideas include services for the elderly, skill-sharing platforms among neighbours, cooperatives for local products, apps for educational support, and coworking spaces for local startups.
These models combine economic sustainability with positive impact, strengthening social ties and improving quality of life. By addressing real community needs, entrepreneurs can foster resilience, empower individuals, and create networks that benefit everyone. Social innovation becomes a driver for inclusive growth and shared prosperity.
BRIEF
The goal is to create a business idea that supports a specific community. Start by choosing a community, clearly explaining the target group and their needs or challenges.
Develop a concept that addresses these needs, and consider visualising it with a scenario or storyboard to show how it would work in real life. Finally, explain why you believe the idea could be feasible from a business perspective, considering factors like revenue model, sustainability, scalability, and required resources. The final output should include a short written concept, supported by visuals, with a clear rationale for its business potential.
