The society is one of the main drivers of initiatives for social, economic and technological development. We are all part of society even inserted in other areas and we are all part of the problem and the solution.
The various organizations that are born of society, are usually characterized by the scarcity of resources until they achieve some maturity.
Social innovation is a path that allows organizations to achieve faster and more effectively its objectives, achieving benefit more people through their projects and eventually develop models with a greater autonomy or inclusively self-sustainability.
