TruemorsMuhammad Yunus - in a sense my premier Icon for sustainopreneurship. A financial innovation that rocked the world: Poverty Lending to the financially discriminated. They were not primarily poor, they were primarily in lack of access to develop their prosperity and form their own destiny. Note the Grameen Phone logo in the speak as Nobel Peace Lauterate 2006 in Oslo: It is Telenor that now owns the lion part of Grameen Phone, now the largest cell-phone operator in Bangladesh, fuelling Village Phone Ladies with business opportunities to serve their communities one call at a time.

Related to the posting about cell phone services in Bangladesh, here is Grameen Phone founder Muhammad Yunus at the speech receiving Nobel Peace Prize 2006 for his work with Grameen Bank and all the subsidiaries focusing the needs of the poor to improve their quality of life towards sustainable prosperity through their own capacity. In short - sustainopreneurship, applied (see http://www.sustainopreneurship.info).
Peace,
Anders
