A social innovation challenge for young people, social organizations, and creative actors who are eager to do something with actions.
Based on BottleDream's past practices, we understand that social innovation is a process in which multiple actors work together to respond to complex social and environmental challenges with creative methods and promote the evolution of the system in a more inclusive and sustainable direction. It can be a new product, a technology, a design, a collaboration model, or a new rule.
This is exactly what the SK Social Innovation Challenge hopes to explore with you. This year, we focus on "a sustainable future for people and cities" and are committed to letting the seeds of innovation take root and sprout in the soil of the city.
