Sažetak
In Croatia, public-sector awareness of social innovation is growing, and a community of social innovation actors is relatively active. However, social innovation is a recent field, and several components that are key to an enabling environment – i.e. a clear definition of social innovation, inter-ministerial cooperation and governance, co-ordination mechanisms to promote partnerships and financing instruments – are still missing or need to be further developed. The policy framework presented in this report aims to address these challenges through a policy mix focusing on four key pillars: framework conditions, financial instruments, human capital and infrastructure. Moving forward, Croatia could benefit from applying a number of policy measures focused on strengthening collaborations between academia, the public and private sectors, and civil society. In the short term, awareness-raising efforts could be formalised through a knowledge- sharing platform and seminars ; in the medium term, creating a one-stop shop supporting social innovators and devising financial instruments, such as social innovation vouchers and grants, could kick-start a “smart growth” cycle ; in the long term, these initiatives could cement sustainable collaborations between businesses, public institutions, civil society and academia and contribute to stronger and more inclusive growth.
