The event hosted by Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus was attended by more than 1600 participants, among them over 250 international participants from 30 countries. Professor Muhammad Yunus gave the keynote speech. In his speech Professor Yunus emphasized on breaking the curse of poverty and unemployment by using creative power of youths and scientific knowhow.
There was a Social Business Marketplace which showcases the products and programmes of social business. As a highlight, there was a special Mela or fair of Nobin Udyokta's (new entrepreneurs) products which displayed at the marketplace. There was three plenary sessions including Meet the Nobin Udyoktas, Sharing Experiences in Social Business around the World, and the Road Map Forward, with speakers from around the world giving their insights and programmes in discussions moderated by Professor Muhammad Yunus.
There was a special panel on Social Business in Greater China. This year about 90 participants attended from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
