Social Innovation Camp is an experiment in creating social innovations for the digital age.

We think the web and related technologies hold huge potential to change some pretty fundamental stuff: how people hold those in positions of power accountable; who they rely on to provide the services they need to live healthy, happy lives; or how they make a difference to something that affects them.

But for any of this to happen, we have to work out what people really need and start building the technology that can help - which is what Social Innovation Camp is all about.

Through unusual, creative events we bring together talented software developers and designers with social innovators to build effective web-based solutions to real social problems.

This site is all about the Social Innovation Camp we brought to Scotland in summer 2009.
