HOW DOES THE SOCIAL INNOVATION FACTORY WORK?

Our world faces many challenges,

ranging from small scale challenges

to global challenges. Challenges that

ask for solutions. Anyone can offer

a solution – so can you.

Do you have a socially innovative concept? Make use of the Social

Innovation Factory to put it into

practice: together we will broaden

your network, deepen your concept

and draw up a financial plan.

Sounds good? Yes, it does.

THE SOCIAL INNOVATION FACTORY pARTNER FOR INNOVATIVE mINDS

Companies and associations have

the power to create new strategies,

products, services and concepts that

provide answers to societal challenges

such as poverty, climate change,

aging and loneliness.

The Social Innovation Factory will

help you designing and launching your

innovative concept. Our network

was set up by civil society and social

entrepreneurs. The aim is to promote

and guide social innovation and social

entrepreneurship, and to lead this

towards (co) financing or partnerships.

We provide associations or companies

access to the expertise in our learning

network in order to bring your concept

to life.

The aim of this all? To ensure that you will

successfully launch your social innovative

concept.

HOW mUCH DOES THE SOCIAL INNOVATION FACTORY CHARGE YOU?

Nothing, it’s for free. However, we expect

you to reinvest the time we invest in you

back into our network, e.g. by writing

an article, to be a speaker at one of our

events … This way, we make sure that

the Social Innovation Factory’s network

grows stronger and stronger. And that

our (and your) concepts will have an

even bigger chance to succeed.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

Contact us. During an intake meeting we discuss your concept, your possible issues and uncertainties. Is the intended social impact clear

enough? Where do you get your

income from? Can you increase the

innovation factor of your concept?

Which partners do you involve? What

impact do you think you can realize?

To further strengthen those aspects,

we develop tailor-made guidance for

you. Together we look for the right

partners in our network who can

answer your questions.

A sophisticated socially innovative

concept also enables you to apply

for co-funding by the IWT through

the Social Innovation Factory.

We are happy to inform you

about the possibilities.

So, are you looking for inspiration,

appealing social innovations,

workshops and seminars that will

sharpen your social innovation skills?
