Government and Public Policy
Title: Societal entrepreneurship programme
8 February 2009, Sweden, Social Innovation, Social Entrepreneurship, Social Finance and Philanthropy, Government and Public Policy, Communities and Cities, http://www.samhallsentreprenor.se
The Knowledge Foundation sees societal entrepreneurship as a
key to the future. Sweden needs technological development – but
we also need new ideas for our housing estates, new ways of
producing and consuming that respect the environment and new
ways of providing public services and care: in short, we need social
innovations.
Many of our social solutions were built for the structure of the
industrial society, when borders were more important – borders
between nations, between the market and the public sector and
between work and leisure. The difficult issues that we face today –
such as the climate threat, migration and segregation, globalization
and unequal distribution – cut across borders. And they are too
complex to be solved by players acting on their own.
