16 DEFINING SOCIAL INNOVATION It is about new ideas to address pressing unmet needs that are both social in ends and in their means Social Innovations are new ideas (products, services and models) that simultaneously meet social needs (more effectively than alternatives) and create new social relationships or collaborators.

17 DEFINING SOCIAL INNOVATION Innovative activities and services that are motivated by the goal of meeting a social need and that are predominantly developed and diffused through organisations whose primary purposes are social. A novel solution to a social problem that is more effective, efficient, sustainable or just than existing solutions and for which the value created accrues primarily to the society as a whole rather than private individuals.
