In the two-day Forum, participants had discussed the problems encountered and coping strategies in the promotion of social innovation education among youth.  The scholars and delegates particularly expressed that students have a general lack of life experience, as well as knowledge of professional and social resources.  Their abilities are therefore doubted by the investors and this poses difficulties to them to start or continue their projects.  It was finally agreed that the social innovation education for youth should first focus on cultivating their understanding of and interest in social problems, followed by training up their reflective thinking and creativity, and encouraging them to take concrete action to tackle social problems.  In addition, to eliminate social conflicts and divergence among different age groups, cross-sectoral and cross-generational cooperation are essential as they facilitate the building of network and shared value.

Bringing down the curtain, it was proposed the next Social Business Regional Forum be held on 1 March 2019 featuring "Attaining Social Innovation by a Community-oriented/ engagement Approach".
