Social innovation refers to new and creative ways in which systemic challenges are addressed by passionate individuals and change-makers. It comes in many forms and there are great examples across Scotland of social entrepreneurs making a difference in this way.  

In this session, we will hear from the individuals behind two Scottish social enterprises that are tackling big challenges in innovative ways: Woodside Arran and Sustainable Thinking Scotland. Join us for an inspiring conversation on defining social innovation, linking the social impacts and environmental benefits, as well as using passion and creativity as a fuel for success.
