Another Innovation Exchange
It seems the UK is becoming a hotbed of social innovation networks and exchanges. The Young Foundation has launched SIX (Social Innovation eXchange)- a new global network of networks to promote social innovation. SIX brings together people and organisations involved in innovation across the fields of technology, design, cities, social entrepreneurship, public policy and business. Its network spans sectors as diverse as culture, education, health and the environment. SIX aims to develop existing and new links with similar organisations and social enterprises all over the world, providing a network of networks. By connecting people, bringing together resources and sharing ideas and practical solutions, SIX will raise the profile of Social Innovation, and help accelerate the process and its effects all over the world The Social Innovation eXchange (SIX) is a partnership of the Young Foundation, Cisco, Global Ideas Bank, Kaos Pilots, MIK, OECD, SEP-Sustainable Everyday Project, School for Social Entrepreneurs, Tallberg Foundation, and many others working on social innovation to meet unmet needs
