Yunus Social Business Balkans

Yunus Social Business believes in the power of business to end poverty. YSB Balkans was founded by Peace Nobel Laureate Prof. Yunus, Saskia Bruysten, Shkelzen Marku and Alexis Rawlinson. It started in Albania with its projects in mid-2012 and then since 2015, it has expanded its activities towards other non-EU Western Balkan countries. It aims to address social issues through the supporting social entrepreneurship initiatives, startups/businesses that have the potential to create social impact for the society. We do this through running entrepreneurship inspiration/awareness campaigns, implementing incubation, acceleration and investment readiness programs, facilitating access to financing and supporting the development of an enabling entrepreneurship ecosystem in the region.
