Social innovators are at the forefront of reimagining the economic status quo. These leaders are generating value for communities and the economy. By simultaneously addressing social problems and introducing financially sustainable products and services, they build a more equitable and prosperous world.

A key takeaway from day one of the Growth Summit is that you can't think of 'growth policy' or 'industrial policy' or 'investment climate reform' in the abstract, and expect that market level reforms on their own will lead to growth. Large, formal firms are key to economic growth, and many low income countries have too few of them. So policy needs to get concrete about how to support the growth of existing large firms, and how to support the creation and market entry of more large firms. All while ensuring that the few large firms do not capture policy and protect their existing positions, so that growth can be sustained through market entry and exit.
