Abstract
The APTE Summit seeks to inspire and empower individuals to use entrepreneurship and innovation to fight poverty both locally and globally. The community we foster connects students, academics, practitioners, policy makers, and community members who have the collective power to truly change the world. APTE 2013's pilot Social Enterprise Business Plan Competition and Workshop Series focused on the process of getting started and stressed utilizing your resources, networks, and talents to do something that creates meaningful, sustainable change.
