\n
\nYork University, United Way of York Region and ventureLAB are collaborating to support social innovation and social enterprises in York Region. On May 15 they will speak about the assets they bring to bear to help address persistent social challenges.<\/em>
\nPicture this: Metro Toronto Convention Centre. May 15. Over 2,600 attendees listening to a multi-sectoral panel on social innovation.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThat\u2019s what we\u2019re doing at Discovery 2012<\/a>, Ontario\u2019s premier technology and innovation showcase. Hosted by the Ontario Centres of Excellence, Discovery is Ontario\u2019s annual conference bringing together university, college and industry based researchers, students, entrepreneurs and innovators. Traditionally focused on technology sectors such as green tech, health tech and ICTs, this year Discovery is going social and exploring the role of social innovation and social enterprises in Ontario\u2019s innovation landscape.\u00a0Mobilize This! has previously\u00a0written<\/a>\u00a0about efforts to introduce social innovation into the federal innovation agenda and on May 15, in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, over 2,600 delegates (well, those that attend the panel at least) will hear this message. York Region\u2019s innovation sector will speak about how we are sowing the seeds of social innovation in York Region and how we are starting to build relationships to support innovators and entrepreneurs seeking to address persistent social, environmental and cultural challenges.
\nThis panel at Discovery represents early conversations with York Region\u2019s vibrant entrepreneurial sector (represented by Lahav Gil of the Kangaroo Group), a regional hospital network (represented\"\"<\/a> by Pat Clifford of Southlake Regional Health Centre) and the three primary supports for innovation in York Region: ventureLAB (York Region\u2019s Regional Innovation Centre represented by CEO, Jeremy Laurin), York University (represented by Vice-President Research & Innovation, Robert Hach\u00e9) and the United Way of York Region (represented by Janice Chu, Director Community Investments). For the first time in the history of Discovery the community sector will be represented. We will also be joined by Allyson Hewitt, Advisor, Social Innovation and Director, Social Entrepreneurship MaRS, who will reflect on York Region\u2019s assets and efforts and place them in a provincial context.
\n\"\"<\/a>ventureLAB, York U and UWYR are actively discussing how best to support an emerging cohort of social entrepreneurs. UWYR has a Strength Investments <\/a>program (itself a social innovation) that has already invested $300,000 in 11 community based innovations to address local opportunities. ventureLAB has an established Build<\/a> program and Entrepreneurs in Residence that can be made available to social entrepreneurs. York University\u2019s Knowledge Mobilization Unit will actively broker collaborations between social entrepreneurs and researchers\/students so that social innovations are grounded in the latest research. The Innovation York<\/a> accelerator space at the Markham Convergence Centre, co-located with ventureLAB and other York Region innovation acceleration services such as the York Technology Alliance<\/a>, will be available to social entrepreneurs seeking a space to grow their businesses.
\nStay tuned for details on how we will weave these assets into a coherent value proposition but we have progressed beyond recognizing the need and moved into the \u201chow to\u201d stages. This energy will build on the primary message of the recent Public Policy Forum report<\/a>that spoke of the value of collaboration as a key component of innovation and singled out York Region as a region that was making strides to supporting multi-sectoral collaboration.
\nDiscovery 2013. That\u2019s when we will share the emerging York Region story \u2013 still separate silos beginning the dialogue on and action to support social innovation and social entrepreneurship so we can make a difference in the lives of York Region\u2019s diverse citizens. Come with us as we discover social innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
