About
The initiative
Across Europe, social innovators are working towards solving today's biggest challenges set forth by the Sustainable Development Goals. As new models of business, formal and informal innovations taking place are a positive force committed to shaping our better future.
However, access to funding, skills and networks remains a critical barrier to entry for aspiring entrepreneurs and social enterprises whose ideas hold the potential to solve local issues. This is true especially for individuals from underserved groups.
​
Social Tides, supported by Google.org as part of the Google.org Social Innovation Fund, aims to address these challenges, particularly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
​
Through this initiative, we commit to empowering a diversity of ideas, and the people behind them, to build the capacity and capabilities of Europe's social innovation economy.
We can accomplish far more together, than we can alone. And together, we can accelerate progress towards a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient European future for all.
