Social Innovation Examples
Products, services, business models, and technology combined to deliver sustainable social impact
Innovation + Social Impact
Social innovation requires the combination of technical innovation (in products, services, or business models) and social impact (on customers, market-making, community)
​
Social innovation has to have:
​
1. Sustainable products and business models
2. Measurable and net-positive social impact
​
Check the cases of IKEA, Elementos Argentinos, and TOMS as examples of social innovation. The cases of Uber and Airbnb exemplify the risks of unintended negative social impact.
