2019年11月19日【第二屆社會型企業東亞年會】，本會很榮幸邀請諾貝爾和平獎得主-尤努斯博士以及各領域的專家學者蒞臨台灣。
The 2nd Social Business East Asian Conference will be held on November 19, 2019. Professor Yunus, as well as experts and scholars in various fields from many countries will visit Taiwan.
尤努斯博士長期推動格萊珉微型信貸與社會型企業，至今已幫助1億8000萬人脫貧，近年推動的社會型企業更擴至解決貧窮以外之各種社會問題，聯合國秘書長更公開表示:尤努斯博士的社會型企業模式有助於實踐17項永續發展目標SDGs，尤其在消除貧窮與消除飢餓的貢獻。尤努斯博士認為:「經濟學被歸類為社會科學，但是傳統經濟學的研究只關注於財富，忽視人文價值及社會效益」，如今「社會型企業」的概念重新將社會性的人文關懷加入經濟學，重啟社會科學的本質，而本年會更是沿用今年社會型企業世界年會主題「Making Money is Happiness; Making Other People Happy is Super Happiness.」，「賺錢很快樂，幫助別人快樂﹔超級快樂」所傳達的理念。
With continuously driving the Grameen Microfinance and Social Business, Professor Yunus has helped more than 180 million people out of poverty. The social Business promoted in recent years has expanded to address various social issues other than poverty. The United Nations also publicly states that Professor Yunus’s Social Business model can help to implement 17 sustainable development goals, especially in eradicating poverty and hunger contribution. "Economics is classified as a social science but the study of traditional economics only focuses on wealth and ignoring human values and social benefits. Today, the concepts of "Social Business." will bring the social humanistic care into Economics and reset the essence of social science” said Professor Yunus. The conference will also follow the theme, Making Money is Happiness; Making Other People Happy is Super Happiness, of Social Business East Asian Conference this year.
台灣尤努斯基金會成立四年來已成功推薦10所台灣在地大學並成立尤努斯社會企業中心（Yunus Social Businesss Centre 簡稱YSBC），藉由在地YSBC將尤努斯精神帶進校園，強化連結社會創新與企業社會責任，擴大企業支持大學解決社會問題、提升學生新創能量。而現今台灣社會正面臨低底薪高失業率的問題，正是台灣各界最關懷的議題，希冀藉由此屆東亞年會的力量﹐為台灣企業以及青年學子創新創業帶來更大的影響力!!
In the past four years, the Foundation for Yunus Social Business Taiwan has successfully recommended 10 Universities in Taiwan and helps to establish Yunus Social Businesss Centre (abbreviating as YSBC). The local YSBC brings the spirit of Yunus into the campus, strengthens the linking of social innovation and corporations’ social responsibility, expands the enterprise scale to support the universities in solving social problems and enhancing students’ creation abilities. Nowadays, Taiwan is facing the low base salary and the high unemployment rate problems, which are the most concerned issues of all. Therefore, we hope to bring greater influence in innovations and entrepreneurship for Taiwan’s enterprises and young students through the East Asia Conference 2019.
尤努斯博士相信：當我們談到社會型企業我們其實是在談我們自己、個人
並不是談論政府，更不是指國際組織、聯合國或任何人！
「我可以做得到！」
這個訊息是說地球上的每個人都可以做得到，都可以改變世界，
那是每個人都擁有的力量！
When we talk about social business, we talk about ourselves, and the individual. We do not talk about the government, not talk about some international organizations, United Nations, or anybody. It's " I can do this." And that's a message. Everyone of us on this planet can do this, can change the world. That's the power each individual human being has.
