What we do

Social is the new sexy.

Rethinking the old.

Our world is full of profit-oriented companies. Their only goal is earning more money, but on that way humanity gets lost. Nobody feels responsible for our planet, society and our future. In a system focusing on money, humans play a minor part. In 2008, we faced the biggest economic crisis since 1929. Now it is our responsibility to take action towards change. Let us rethink the old rules of business.

Calling for change.

We are Young Social Innovators, who are calling for change. We are inspired by people like Muhammed Yunus and fascinated by the concept of Social Business. We fight  against poverty and misery, to spread hope. Become a part of our social movement make an impact!

Economy for humanity.

Our aim as Socialpreneurs is not profit maximizing. Instead we want to build up an economy dedicated to humanity.  Humans should not be a gear wheel, but in the center of our economy. For this purpose, we see Social Enterprises as a good way to solve societal problems by an entrepreneurial approach.

IDEA

SensAbility – that means...
Having a  sense of today’s social and environmental problems. And using your abilities to solve them.

MISSION STATEMENT

WHU SensAbility is the largest social entrepre-neurship conference in Germany entirely organized by students.
More and more founders all over the world opt for the model of social business. The focus of their practices no longer lies on profit maximization, but on creating social value.
