Social innovations are new ideas aim at solving urgent social and environmental challenges we face everyday. They may consist of a new product, a process, technology, but also a principle, a legal act, a movement, an action or their combination. Above all, they represent the capacity, the ability, the strength of the society to understand, analyze, face and solve these challenges.
