SOCIAL CHALLENGES INNOVATION PLATFORM

Social Challenges Innovation Platform (SocialChallenges.eu), aims at creating an online ecosystem to match pressing social challenges with innovative solutions, by supporting the co-development and execution by social innovators and SMEs of sustainable and market-oriented innovations with clear social impact.

• The action will enable European stakeholders to clearly define pressing social challenges; to promote a broad participation of social innovators, entrepreneurs and SMEs
• To facilitate the testing of concrete solutions to prioritised challenges and their international scaling. SocialChallenges.eu will provide a complementary grant-making mechanism, focused on the translation of challenges into practical and marketable solutions.
• Access to mentors, first clients and investors, and by building on the proven experience of the consortium networks in scaling social innovation across Europe.
