Mapping and analysis of the French social innovation ecosystem

Publié le 23 août 2022 - Mise à jour le 08 février 2024
Produced by Avise within the framework of the European project BuiCaSuS, this report constitutes the restitution of a collaborative work of mapping and analysis of the French social innovation ecosystem. It aims to draw up an inventory of the support offered to social innovation in France, but also to highlight success factors and obstacles to its upscaling, as well as the contribution levers to public policy making, in particular through two case studies.

Legislative and political recognition and mapping of the social innovation ecosystem

Intended for any actor interested in the development and structuring of social innovation ecosystems, this report first presents an inventory. In France, social innovation benefits from legislative recognition, integration into some public policies, financial support from French and European authorities and support opportunities, for which various mappings already exist. Its consideration in public policies nevertheless needs to be affirmed and the public authorities continue to work on their position on the subject.

After a presentation of the strengths of this ecosystem, this report therefore mentions some of its challenges and weaknesses, thus opening up several perspectives.

From social innovation to public policy: cases studies

Secondly, the report offers an in-depth study of the relationship between social innovations and public policies, through two case studies, exploring the way in which social innovation initiatives can influence public policies and act on the legislative framework, at the service of the upscaling of their actions and their impact.
