By offering counselling, knowledge, networks, testbeds, investments and other forms of support services, they provide innovators with insights and tools to understand and address unfulfilled needs among various target groups. As these services are traditionally tailored for industrial, technological and commercial innovations, innovation-promoters struggle with the growing number of social innovators arriving at their doorstep. Their established methods for reception, guidance, validation, etc. are often insufficient for enabling establishment and growth of #social innovations.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, #innovation-promoters are required to address #societal challenges and the #sustainable development goals of the #2030 Agenda, making social innovation \u2013 and social #sustainability in all kinds of innovations \u2013 essential to support. That is why innovation-promoters, innovators and researchers in Sweden joined their forces to develop a model for social innovation support. By pinpointing the main motives, logics and dimensions of supporting social innovation and socially sustainable innovation, the model guides innovation-promoters to establish, refine and validate their efforts to make their support services more inclusive and impactful.
