Ashoka

Ashoka is an international organization focused on identifying and supporting leading social entrepreneurs. Since its founding in 1981, Ashoka has built a global network of thousands of ‘Ashoka Fellows’ who work on structural solutions to societal challenges.

The organization supports entrepreneurs who focus on system change within domains such as education, health, human rights, and the environment. These fellows develop innovative approaches that transform existing systems, for example by influencing policy, markets, or societal norms.

In addition to financial support, Ashoka offers long-term guidance, access to an international network, and opportunities for collaboration. In doing so, the organization helps entrepreneurs to increase their impact and further scale up their initiatives.

Ashoka operates from the vision of an ‘Everyone a Changemaker’ world, in which everyone has the skills and confidence to contribute to positive change. By connecting entrepreneurs, knowledge, and networks, the organization plays an important role in strengthening impact-driven ecosystems worldwide.

With this focus on social entrepreneurship and system change, Ashoka positions itself as a key player in promoting innovative solutions to complex societal challenges.
