This document discusses how innovation policies need to adapt to address societal challenges. It argues that innovation is becoming more open, collaborative, and ecosystem-based. It also notes that social and environmental challenges are often addressed separately from innovation networks. The document recommends that innovation policies embrace openness, interaction, and an ecosystem approach to better connect innovation with societal issues. It provides examples of how different stakeholders like social enterprises, companies, public organizations, and experts can work together in innovation ecosystems and form alliances to solve complex societal problems.
This training on “innovation and societal challenges” is dedicated to policy makers and business support organizations to help them better understand the context and their possible role to face the challenges.

Social enterprises are innovation since some years and these are capable to work with big
issues as satisfaction of business man or organizations. Innovation is actually a high-priced
division of an organization. Innovation is not just breakthrough in space science, satellite
communication, etc. but presenting a value proposition than past; when comes the idea of

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.
1. Why and how transform innovation policies to face
transition challenges ?
Innovation and
societal challenges
2. Introduction
Innovation processes have changed in the last decade : open innovation is now the rule ;
innovation has become more people-oriented, driven by an ecosystem, and innovation
process are step by step opening up to societal issues.
On the other hand, social and environmental challenges are addressed by specific actors, still
disconnected from powerful existing innovation networks.
Innovation support policies need to adapt to this context and embrace an ongoing change of
paradigm. This means answering a more complex (various dimensions to consider) and a
more collaborative environment (more skills and stakeholder involved).
2
3. Training objectives
This training on “innovation and societal challenges” is dedicated to policy makers and
business support organizations to help them better understand the context and their
possible role to face the challenges.
After the training, you should be able to :
- understand the future trends in the innovation field, and the possible links with social
innovation
- identify the key stakeholders and their role in an innovative project connected to societal
issues
- choose the first actions to implement in your sphere of influence
3
6. Innovation and societal challenges :
toward a common path
Societal challenges are global and and cooperation of different stakeholders is vital to
solve them.
Social Innovation enables to address social and environmental challenges through
innovation by collaborating and acting with different stakeholders but often on a small
scale with limited financial means.
Innovation brings levers of growth for traditional companies in general. What about
societal enterprises and initiatives ?
At the same time, innovation evolves towards an ecosystemic approach.
Solutions need to be built by the co-involvement of differents stakeholders (public and
private organisations, entrepreneurs, experts, citizens, beneficiaries,...)

12. Look at the needs of social enterprises
* extracted from “Map of Social enterprises and their
ecosystem in Europe”, European Commission, 2015
The potential of social enterprises in Europe is still underdeveloped *.
Let’s try to understand why ...
External factors
- Poor understanding of the concept of social
entreprise
- Lack of supportive policy and legislative
framework
- Lack of specialist business development service
and support
- Difficulties in accessing to the market
- Difficulties in accessing finance from external
sources
- Absence of common mechanisms for measuring
and demonstrating social impact
Internal factors
- Lack of viable business models
(difficulty and/or moral inconfort to
conjugate general and social interest
and revenue)
- High reliance on public sector as a
source of revenue
- Lack of entrepreneurial
spirit/commercial acumen
- Lack of managerial and professional
skills/competencies necessary for
scaling up activity

26. From the ecosystem to alliances
Now you know the different types of actors you may look for in your ecosystem to start
building new forms of alliances.
Some stakeholders already are active partners, you can create opportunities for them too
while opening up to new stakeholders and type of actors. The interconnectivity of your
different networks will be a powerful tool.
Learn from others, be inspired, apply mechanisms from other areas and communities and
build on your experience of innovation processes and risk management * !

29. Reinvent Innovation policies
How should policy makers and other societal stakeholders behave in the context of
societal challenges ? Which role and position should they get ?
The challenges faced by modern economies urgently call for new forms of collective
action between public, private stakeholders in order to :
- better support social impact project and the development of social enterprises and
also to
- better integrate social challenges into research and innovation policies
This new approach of innovation public policies is emerging, building traditional
innovation impact, experience, networks and opening up to other tools and methods
coming from other actors and fields of actions.
