Our Story
SOINNO Hub acts as an online repository to provide inspiring cases and examples of social innovation experiences and of design thinking applications to the community. We aim to facilitate the acquisition of related content and resources by sharing the know-how of proven, effective, and innovative solutions for practitioners to adopt and adapt in order to help develop and scale their own ideas that drive social change, and thus a wider collaborative network for social innovation involvement can be nurtured.
