| A special session “Social Investment Forum” is scheduled in one afternoon (14 November) of the International Symposium of Social Enterprise Summit 2009. We have invited a number of funders/investors keen to invest in social enterprises to share their criteria for selecting business plans. At the same Forum, we will also invite owners/chief managers of social enterprise projects to present their business proposals in front of the potential funders/investors and the entire Summit audience.
The potential funders/investors will put questions to the presenters and through their exchanges, everyone present will gain insight into what it takes to attract investments into a social enterprise. There is a possibility for outstanding business proposals to receive funding from the funders/investors and/or anyone in the Summit audience.
Owing to time constraint, we will only invite 3 proposals to be presented at the Social Investment Forum. Panel members of the session will choose the best proposal to receive the Most Promising Project Award of HK$50,000.
We are now calling for social enterprise projects and social entrepreneurs to express interest to present at the Social Investment Forum.
Who should participate?
- Start-up projects or social enterprise already in operation up to 3 years, and
- Investment amount sought in the range of HK$500,000 to HK$2,000,000, and
- The applicant must be the owner/chief manager of the project with or without any affiliations to an NGO. Projects which have received previous funding from any other sources can also apply.

2009年11月14日「社企投資論壇」
2009社企民間高峰會之「國際研討會」，將於11月14日的下午特設「社企投資論壇」環節，並邀請了數位對社會企業投資有興趣的撥款機構代表介紹他們選取投資項目的準則。同時，我們公開徵求社會企業東主或負責人在大會上介紹他們的業務發展計劃。
準投資者將向計劃書發表者提問，通過他們的對話，與會者可更深入了解成功吸引投資者的關鍵因素。此外，項目發表者更可能有機會獲得投資者或在場人士注資的機會。
由於時間所限，我們祇能邀請三個計劃書撰寫人／機構於論壇中介紹他們的計劃書內容。論壇嘉賓將選出「最具潛質計劃獎」一名，得獎者將可獲獎金港幣$50,000。
