About us
Who We Are
Socialinnov is a non-profit organization committed to building the best learning experiences and to enabling youth, underserved communities, educators and SMEs to fulfill their social and professional potential and offer the opportunity to develop digital & competitive business skills.
Socialinnov began its operations in 2013 as the NGO arm of Found.ation, a leading innovation‐enabling platform and accelerator for tech‐oriented products and services in South Eastern Europe, which operates mainly in the technology and innovation sector. Since then, Socialinnov has developed into an organization that plays a leading role in the field of CS and ICT upskilling and reskilling in Greece.
What We Do
Our purpose is to promote targeted initiatives in order to facilitate the support and consequential improvement of infrastructure in the fields of education, technological and applied sciences innovation, corporate social responsibility and social economy.
Socialinnov has successfully leveraged a diverse international and local network (partner organizations, industry experts, facilitators and trainers). Through our network of collaborations, we are forging synergies among the public and private sector, universities, research institutions, and other entities.
Our Vision
Social change through digital upskilling. We envision a future where every person has the opportunity to develop a professional skillset and achieve more through digital technology. We believe in equal opportunities, digital literacy and continuous learning and trust the power of technology to deeply transform lives and societies.
Our Mission
Socialinnov’s mission is to offer to youth, underserved communities, women, educators and SMEs throughout Greece the opportunity to develop their digital and business skills through targeted training programs, in order to pursue better professional prospects.
