SOCIAL INNOVATIONCreating win-win concepts that bring together stakeholders for a better future. Social innovation is a multifaceted issue, which used proactively can be a driver for local business development and environmental improvements.People are at the core of sustainability. Technology can do its bit, but with 6,7 billion people on the planet, the human factor is more important than ever before. Environmental + Social SolutionsToday we face a challenge of creating higher standards of living while at the same time improving our natural footprints.Historically, this has been a challenge to do. As people have gotten more money and risen out of poverty levels they have also started consuming more of the planet's natural ressources. So new approaches are needed that make social improvements go hand-in-hand with natural improvements. Solutions that inherently are environmentally as well as socially enhancing. Local + Social SolutionsAs a second issue we adress the need to focus on social innovation from the micro-level; working for the creation of solutions that are truly local in their character.Much emphasis is upon the big picture, but having that in mind, social change is needed to be rooted in the local sphere. Dynamic solutions that work where people live, in the local community, in the individual city will provide a much stronger platform for developing sustainable lifestyles, and creating ressilient systems that can in fact adapt to a changing socio-economic environment. So we invite you to work with us going for the local solutions in a global perspective! Entrepreneurial + Social SolutionsSocial development efforts are often associated with financial support, philantrophy, volunteers and kindly helping hands. This is good - but it is not enough.We support a line of work that sees the future of social innovation within the entrepreneurial arena. Solutions that include the creation of new, sustainable and social enterprises that directly involves and connects a multiple number of stakeholders in collective efforts. Enterprises that both provide the necessary freedom of making a living, while at the same time being direct responses to the needs for social and sustainable businesses. In this way a new generation of solutions can be launched, with an impact that is beneficial on a society scale - but also on the individual sphere as people become integral parts of their own solutions.
