DBS Foundation Business for Impact Capacity Building Programme

In a future filled with challenges in the business environment, how social enterprises can enhance their competitive capabilities will undoubtedly become a key issue. What strategies can be applied to strengthen connections with stakeholders and build a more effective brand image to create social value?

Building on last year's sucess, FSES is once again funded by and collaborating with DBS Foundation to co-create the "DBS Foundation Business for Impact Capacity Building Programme"

The programme includes training aimed at enhancing brand capabilities, assisting social enterprises in utilising various business skills to navigate in the B2B market. Additionally, the programme features expert coaching and a business pitch competition to further improve participants' pitching skills, enabling them to effectively convey their innovative brand stories and social impact from multiple perspectives.

This year, to help participating social enterprises better understand market dynamics and connect with more business stakeholders, the programme will also include a curated company visit and an Impact Business Day, providing valuable insights into market demands and networking opportunities.

We welcome social enterprises interested in targeting the B2B market or looking to deepen their social impact to participate in the programme. Here are the details:
