Social Innovation

Social innovation refers to the development and implementation of novel solutions to social challenges that improve the well-being of individuals and communities. These solutions can take various forms, including new products, services, models, or methods that address issues such as poverty, education, health care, and environmental sustainability. Social innovation aims to create social value rather than just financial profit, often involving collaboration among different sectors such as government, non-profit organizations, and businesses. The focus is on sustainable change and enhancing the capacity of individuals and communities to address their own needs. Social innovations can be driven by grassroots initiatives, research, or policy changes and are characterized by their ability to scale and adapt to different contexts.
