Inclusive Innovation programme information session – Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland

Working collaboratively, CEIS and Interface aim to facilitate and support new inclusive innovation in the social enterprise and enterprising third sectors in Scotland. The programme is designed to raise awareness of the support and resources available to organisations and individuals with innovative solutions that address societal and/or environmental issues within Scotland, and beyond.

Through a series of free online events, they will demonstrate how enterprises across diverse sectors have grown their ideas to fruition and the positive impact this has had on society and the planet.

Regardless of the type of organisation you are (community enterprise, social enterprise, mission led business, or third sector organisation); if you are an individual; or whichever sector you operate in; if you have an idea to grow or scale your impact; then the chances are they can help you to realise this.

Who is it for?

Social enterprises, enterprising third sector organisations and social entrepreneurs throughout Scotland who;
• have an idea to create positive social or environmental change
• need support to grow or scale community or social enterprise
• want to tap into new opportunities
If you need support accessing technical support and facilities, conducting detailed market research or identifying funding options to help get your idea off the ground; and have time and resources to dedicate to this, the free ‘Inclusive Innovation’ events programme is a great way for you to find out more.

How does it work?

Interested parties should attend one of the free online events to learn more about the programme. You will hear from enterprises across a range of sectors that have accessed Interface’s specialist knowledge to help their enterprises to grow and achieve their desired outcomes.
