Social Innovation happens through new solutions to social needs. To solve problems such as social exclusion, lack of quality of life, and participation, we need new solutions and to reinvent the existing ones to achieve better quality, more impact and efficiency.

The creation of new strategies and answers to address social needs is urgent, especially where they are getting worse (i.e. climate change and aging), where the existing models have failed or idle (i.e. democratic participation, criminal justice or education), and where exists unexplored potential (i.e. the intelligent use of technology for housing and health).
