POSITIVE
Participatory Open Social Innovation Through Interlinking Valuable Ecosystems
Research has shown that social innovators face four main challenges when developing and scaling their business: market access, financial sustainability, skills and adequate networks. The POSITIVE project will tackle these challenges by impacting external and internal factors through knowledge transfer and cross-fertilization between the tech and social innovation spheres and the interlinkage of these ecosystems.
The POSITIVE project will counteract these factors by raising awareness about the benefits of social innovation (SI) and social entrepreneurship (SE), offering trainings about social entrepreneurship for business support organisations which will lead to better support for social innovators, and providing new opportunities for social entrepreneurs to digitize their products and services and to acquire new skills through the organisation of an Open Innovation Challenge in three countries (POSITIVE Impact Challenge).
