The Sustainable Business Academy aims at bridging a gap between three groups: Businesses, Academics, and Social Innovators from non-profits, government etc. This gap appears as different languages, different styles of communication, and different outcomes that each group is aiming for with regard to the ‘New Economy.’

The SBA aspires to:

• 1) Share knowledge and best practices across these sectors

• 2) Draw attention to work being done in terms of education and research, and

• 3) Gain resources – for funding research, starting ventures, and supporting non-profits.

Please spread the word through your networks.

With regards,

Philip
