Le Global Social Business Summit a réuni à Vienne, du 9 au 12 novembre, 500 entrepreneurs, financiers, représentants d'institutions gouvernementales, universitaires, étudiants, venus de 56 pays, autour du "social business ". Pourquoi ce "think tank" est-il intervenu une semaine après le G20 ? Le monde traverse un moment clé de son histoire, l'euro une crise existentielle. Or, si l'Europe ne parvient pas à sauver l'euro, elle va entraîner l'économie mondiale dans la récession. Dans les pays de l'OCDE, le chômage avoisine les 10% en moyenne ; en Espagne, près d'un jeune sur deux est sans emploi, la Grèce suit la même tendance, alors que la France et le Portugal sont autour de 20%.

November 2011 findet das Global Social Business Summit im Messe Zentrum Wien statt – eine Initative von Grameen Bank-Gründer und Friedensnobelpreisträger Prof. Muhammad Yunus und Hans Reitz. Die Junge Volkshilfe gehört zu den nationalen Partnern des Veranstalters Grameen. “Während in den letzen Jahren im Zuge der Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise die Stabilisierung des Finanzsektors Priorität hatte, müssen sich in Zukunft die Gesellschaften verstärkt mit den sozialen Aspekten der Wirtschaftskrise auseinandersetzen. Dieses erfordert, dass neuartige, kreative und innovative Elemente ermöglicht werden, um soziale Probleme zu beseitigen.

2011년 11월 10일부터 11일까지 진행된 Global Social Business Summit(글로벌소셜비즈니스써밋)에 참가하면서 참 많은 생각과 관점을 얻게 되었다. 내가 여태까지 참가한 숱한 컨퍼런스 중에 제일 만족도가 높았던 건, 내가 정말 좋아하는 주제이면서, 만나는 사람과 실제적인 파트너십을 개발하고 이야기를 할 정도로 '준비도'가 높아졌다는 점, 그리고 이 분야가 앞으로 10년 이상 성장세를 따라가, 종국에는 20년을 이어갈 새로운 비즈니스의 시대정신이 될 수 있을 거라는 확신이 들었기 때문이다. 보다 자세하고 세세한 내용(나눌 내용이 너무 많다!)은 다음에 하겠지만, 우선 대략적인 느낌을 이곳에 정리해본다. 마치 종교집회에 와있는 느낌이었다
