Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus will join as the chief guest and deliver keynote speech at the 15th edition of Social Business Day which will take place on June 27–28 in Savar.

The 15th edition of Social Business Day, organised by the Yunus Centre and Grameen Group, will take place at the Samajik Convention Centre in Zirabo, Savar.

This year’s theme is: “Social Business is the Most Effective Way to Ensure Healthcare for All.”

The event aims to be a global convergence of knowledge, experience, and innovation—addressing inequalities and limitations across healthcare and other sectors to build a sustainable, just, and humane world.

The two-day program will feature five plenary sessions and eight breakout sessions focused on diverse perspectives and ideas.

More than a thousand participants including more than 180 international delegates from 25 countries, are expected to join the event, according to the Yunus Centre.
