World Health Care Congress is pleased to announce the Grameen Creative Lab (GCL) Sunday April 11, 2010 from 10:00am to 4:30pm.

We invite all Attendees to a Networking Reception Starting at 6:00pm

The Grameen Creative Lab (GCL) is a Joint Venture between the Yunus Centre in Bangladesh and circ responsibility in Germany, founded by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus and Hans Reitz, founder and creative director of circ. Their shared vision is the eradication of poverty – globally. The Grameen Creative Lab is designed to accelerate and spread the spirit of Grameen social business under the principles of Prof. Yunus through three main activities. 1) It interacts with the interested community through books, articles, and events on social business. 2) It incubates social business ideas through brainstorming labs, academic research and social business experiments. 3) It creates social businesses by advising companies on how to set-up social business joint ventures with Grameen in Bangladesh or elsewhere and supporting social business investors in their search for suitable investment opportunities.

Goals of a Creative Social Business Lab:

• Develop systemic understanding of social business
• Understand the benefits that social business can have for society
• Exchange best practices and learn more about examples of social businesses
• Foster creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit
• Identify existing social needs in your society
