SIRENE

The main aim of the SIRENE is to support the growth of social innovation ecosystems delivering eco-friendly and sustainable community-based services for SHAFE (Smart Healthy Age-Friendly Environments) implementation in Europe, by providing a workable framework for investment and the broad adoption of high-quality smart living solutions, combining the housing sector and ICT infrastructure.

SIRENE identifies a diverse approach: connect stakeholders by having them working together towards a Social Innovation framework and supporting tools, claiming that this joint collaborative and co-creative work will:

• Increase awareness of innovation actors on social innovation concepts, methods
  and the skills to leverage them.
• Make social entrepreneurs aware of potential business opportunities, funding and investment around SHAFE.
• Create alliances and synergies between different stakeholders within ecosystems and between ecosystems.
• Ensure that business actors have access to social innovation and entrepreneurial knowledge.
• Unleash the potential of social innovation ecosystems on SHAFE.
