About Social Innovation Catalyst
Social Innovation Catalyst
The Social Innovation Catalyst is co-financed by the European Social Fund.
In Social Innovation Catalyst 2, we create conditions to encourage the initiation, development, popularization and scaling of social innovation in Poland. We support a social innovation ecosystem based on a network rather than a hierarchical structure.
We aim to promote the concept of “social innovation” in various ways, introducing it into public debate and proposing a common understanding of it. We also support individuals and institutions working on their innovative ideas. We try to help generate such ideas, develop, test, and implement them.
We create spaces and tools that help the exchange of experiences, improve knowledge and skills, and enable the development of networks. We connect people and institutions operating in this area, including innovators and entities running social innovation incubators. We organize meetings, conferences, workshops, and study visits.
We have launched and continuously update the website innowacjespoleczne.pl, which is a tool providing both informational and educational support to all individuals and institutions operating in this field. The portal also features a database of social innovations, allowing users to search for projects according to various criteria and promoting the best solutions in this area.

Foundation for Social and Economic Initiatives
Foundation for Social and Economic Initiatives
It seeks to influence changes occurring in the socio-economic system to make it more flexible, receptive to cooperation and effective. The Foundation believes that this is not possible without citizens’ involvement in the development and implementation of public tasks. This is why the Foundation attaches importance to the concepts of ‘social economy’ and ‘public participation’.
The Foundation operates the TransferHUB, an incubator for social innovation in the labour market area of the future.
