About SERA - SERA

Social Enterprise Research Academy (SERA) established in 2014. With the mission statement of “Harness the Market to Bring Social Caring”, SERA aims to promote a sustainable development in Asian communities. SERA values social responsibility as a common value and brings together sustainability elites from business, academia, social and political sectors to establish a cross-industry “Talent Tank” to promote social responsibility and exert positive social influence from top to bottom.
