Ashoka’s Migration initiative, Hello World, piloted its ‘Ecosystem Accelerator’ in 2022 as a strategy to bring together multiple stakeholders to identify key problems, root causes, and solutions to a particular sector or ecosystem. By placing social entrepreneurs at the helm of the accelerator and focusing on action-oriented steps, it aims to build long-term collaboration through concrete achievements that participants develop. This article explores this model, its preliminary impact, factors for success, and the challenges it faces, and recommends ways to apply a similar methodology.
