Social Innovation
Social innovation can be defined as answering a variety of social needs and solutions while developing new solutions by improving social skills. The concept of social innovation that frequently comes up recently can be considered particularly in terms of meeting social needs.
Let’s give a more clear example of social innovation; Establishing trade of products such as coffee, chocolate in order to ensure a regular income for farmers as well as compliance with environmental standards is a social innovation. Additionally, micro-credit mechanisms developed to allow poor people to reach various financial resources can also be explained as a social innovation.
Social innovation is ideas, services, products or models created to meet social needs on a regular basis by developing sustainable and innovative solutions addressing various social problems. Social innovations can be made by individuals as well as non-governmental organizations, public organizations and even private companies.
