ASIS - Training #7 - Innovation and societal challenges - Part 1
1. Why and how to transform innovation policies to face
transition challenges?
Part 1
Innovation and
societal challenges
2. Introduction
Innovation processes have changed in the last decade: open innovation is now the rule,
innovation has become more people-oriented, driven by an ecosystem and innovation
processes are step by step opening up to societal issues.
On the other hand, social and environmental challenges are addressed by specific actors, still
disconnected from powerful existing innovation networks.
Innovation support policies need to adapt to this context and embrace an ongoing change of
paradigm. This means answering a more complex (various dimensions to consider) and a more
collaborative environment (more skills and stakeholders involved).

6. Innovation and societal challenges:
towards a common path
Societal challenges are global and cooperation of different stakeholders is vital to solve
them.
Social Innovation enables to address social and environmental challenges through
innovation by collaborating and acting with different stakeholders but often on a small
scale with limited financial means.
Innovation brings levers of growth for traditional companies in general. What about
societal enterprises and initiatives?
At the same time, innovation evolves towards an ecosystemic approach.
Solutions need to be built by the co-involvement of different stakeholders (public and
private organizations, entrepreneurs, experts, citizens, beneficiaries,...)

10. Different challenges for
“ the bees “ and “ the trees “
the “bees” small
organizations,
groups, social and
solidarity
economy actors
the “trees”
larger organizations,
governments, companies,
large NGOs
Cross-pollination :
create, spread, up-scale social
innovation, open innovation
with impacts
The « bees », especially social
enterprises can learn from
entrepreneurial and innovation
culture.
The « trees », public and private
organizations, can better integrate
social and environmental challenges
and SI methods into their practices.
10
Example of cross-pollination :
Research and open Innovation with impacts : innovate in order to answer the needs of people.
Example of urban agriculture
● bees : a startup (Reverdir)
● trees : French institutions IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) and Laboratories
● Enterprise dedicated to responsible science : SoScience
11. To go further: Sustainable Development Goals
Better integrate societal challenges
Societal challenges are:
- numerous
- multidimensional
- complex
- urgent
how should stakeholders
position themselves ?
United Nations call for
commitment of companies
and organizations to the
Sustainable Development
Goals

12. Look at the needs of social enterprises
* extracted from “Map of Social enterprises and their
ecosystems in Europe”, European Commission, 2020
The potential of social enterprises in Europe is still underdeveloped*.
Let’s try to understand why...
EXTERNAL FACTORS
- Poor understanding of the concept of social
enterprise
- Lack of supportive policy and legislative
framework
- Lack of specialist business development service
and support
- Difficult access to the market
- Difficulties in accessing finance from external
sources
- Absence of common mechanisms for measuring
and demonstrating social impact
INTERNAL FACTORS
- Lack of viable business models
(difficulty and/or moral discomfort to
conjugate general and social interest
and revenue)
- High reliance on public sector as a
source of revenue
- Lack of entrepreneurial
spirit/commercial acumen
- Lack of managerial and professional
skills/competencies necessary for
scaling up activity
