“The New Social Silicon Valley

Social leaders have a long tradition of collaborative projects but a business park fully dedicated to social innovation has never been experienced in Europe. In the Greater Bilbao area of northern Spain, the Social Innovation Park (SI Park) will host and consolidate social innovation initiatives and emerging innovation projects aiming to create the new “Social Silicon Valley.” All will benefit from focused resources incorporated in this initiative: the Social Innovation Laboratory (G-Lab), the Social Innovation Academy and the Social Enterprise Generator. SI Park is a pioneering infrastructure promoted by DenokInn, the Basque Centre for Social and Corporate Innovation, which provides the best environment for social innovation entities to cooperate, learn from each other and build new shared enterprises.
