    Thanks for informing us about the opportunity we have when applying for the Social Impact Award. For us as economic students it is really important to not only have a look at the economical benefits of creating a new business but also keeping in mind what impact it may have on the society and the environment. Therefore, we really like the idea of this project that offers support to young entrepreneurs that have a business idea with social and ecological benefits. Thinking about corporate social responsibility, newly established firms should really consider the consequences of their behavior in advance so that they know from the beginning how to take care of the future generations. We learn the theory in class but when it really comes to turning ideas into action, there is a lack of knowledge and experience. As the project promotes entrepreneurs worldwide, the participants also have the opportunity to exchange innovations in a diversified cultural and international environment. And we appreciate the concept that more than one idea receives the mentoring.
