Now in its fifth year and one of the world's leading forums for social business, the summit was founded in 2009 by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus, and this is the first time it has been held outside of Europe.</p><p>As part of the pre-meeting agenda, the YY (Yunus + You) Foundation held the Young Challengers meeting, a gathering for social entrepreneurs under the age of 25 to network and develop their social business ideas. In support of this, the British Council also ran a competition to sponsor four young entrepreneurs to attend the event, through its social entrepreneurship programmes in Malaysia and Indonesia. Two of the winners were Faiz Arshad, founder of the Recovr Initiative, and Nazirul Amin, founder of the You Got It project.</p><p>Recovr is a waste management initiative that aims to empower the disabled and underprivileged through high quality employment in the recycling industry, while You Got It is a youth unemployment enterprise, designed to help Malaysian young people gain work experience, and a better understanding of their preferred career, by way of an internship.</p><p><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/british-council-partner-zone/socialenterprises-muhammad-yunus">Keep reading...</a></p>
