When Social Innovation Generation (SiG) launched in 2006, the global conversation about social innovation was between relatively few players. In 2013, you can track considerable amplification; the most encouraging aspect of this growth in social innovation activity is that millions of people around the world want to dedicate time and energy to solving complex social and environmental challenges. The conversation has now deepened into the ways we can most effectively achieve impact and scale.
The SiG Knowledge Hub is a website designed to provide learning resources about creating conditions for social innovation and to highlight examples in Canada and around the world. With clear and practical access to current thinking about social innovation the four partners of SiG and its supporting national office have assembled the resource with the goal of helping various sectors, communities and practitioners.

SiG has designed the Hub to ensure that there is something for everyone – whether you are new to the topic of social innovation or already an advanced practitioner. They have identified themes that will help you on your learning journey.
The SiG Knowledge Hub is a comprehensive curated learning site that will apply a developmental evaluation approach to ensure that it is constantly improving based on your feedback and for your benefit. Formally launched on February 21, 2013, SiG hopes that the Knowledge Hub will provide you with the resources you need to affect positive change in our world.
