Social innovation parks | Social Innovator. The Social Innovation Park being developed by DennokInn in the Basque Country is the world's first experiment in creating a 'social silicon valley'. They are creating a business park for social enterprises and co-operatives. The park will include start-ups, regional and governmental organisations, and charitable foundations. Research and development needs will be met by the creation of a school for social innovation. The organisation’s head, Carlos Fernandez, hopes that the park will ‘attract and nurture new talent that will develop models, methods and tools for social innovation.’
This project is located in Santurtzi, (the Great Bilbao area of northern Spain) and is supported by the local authorities and the Spanish Government with an initial budget of €6 million. The Social Innovation Park will host more than 50 international companies and associations. About SUS.
