From the leading edge to established players, SOCAP brings together global innovators, investors, foundations, governments, institutions, and social entrepreneurs to build the world they want to leave to future generations. SOCAP actively seeks out opportunities to accelerate the market at the intersection of money and meaning.

Social entrepreneurs are the heart of SOCAP. They identify new solutions to pressing issues, balancing true impact with sustainable business models.
