Impact Entrepreneurship Framework 

Innovation framework for Systemic Drivers of Health

We introduce "Systemic Drivers of Health" as a framework for innovators to dig deeper in understanding the health challenges they want to solve and address the root causes. In this article "Innovating to Address the Systemic Drivers of Health" we discuss the interconnected local and global factors that impact health outcomes and share examples of innovative businesses that are solving today’s health challenges. 

Case Studies 

As part of our research we develop case studies on successful businesses that improve societal health outcomes by addressing systemic root causes of our challenges. Each of these companies have found a way to financial sustainability and scaling their innovations by addressing an unmet need and aligning their business model with creating impact.
