Investing in Innovation for Jobs
Event Information
Description
All people can create value, but the labor market is broken. Of the five billion people on this planet aged fifteen or older, three billion want full-time jobs, but there are only 1.3 billion jobs available. And the satisfaction is dismal: only seventeen percent are engaged in their jobs. This is a huge opportunity for an innovation-for-jobs ecosystem. If all people get jobs they are satisfied with, GDP will quadruple.
We're working towards a future in which jobs compete for people instead of people for jobs. The market size for innovation-for-jobs startups isn't just larger than the entire economy today—it’s the biggest opportunity for innovation to date.
Join us this November for an interactive discussion with our expert panel. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a VC or investor, a service provider, or simply interested in discussing the potential outcome, this session of "Innovation for Jobs" is for you!
There's also a great pitch opportunity - we're looking for entrepreneurs running startups and non-profits that raise the value of people, helping them earn better in more meaningful ways.

About Innovation For Jobs:
Welcome to SVForum’s new Quarterly Series Innovation for Jobs (I4J), where we will gather key thought leaders together to spread the ideas of the future for jobs and how innovation plays a key role in the work place transformation; from discussing the business and investment opportunities it opens up, to education’s role to what policies and shifts in the society need to take place to fully open up its potential.
