about Edelgive with SIX
Established In 2008, Social Innovation Exchange (SIX) has been at the forefront of the global social innovation field for over a decade. We focused on accelerating learning and exchange across borders and sectors, in order to help organisations respond more quickly and more effectively to the complex societal challenges we face.
SIX evolved into EdelGive with SIX. EdelGive with SIX is a new collaboration with a new view that is truly global. We are combining the strengths of a strongly rooted philanthropic organisation, with an agile global innovation network. The Global North has established a long history of impact research, infrastructure and organization capacity building and funding mechanisms. The Global South, with its rapidly growing population and diverse context, is home to dynamic innovation and firsthand experience with many of the world’s most pressing challenges and solutions. By combining these, alongside our organisational competencies, our aim is to create a more balanced and effective approach to global problem-solving.
