Today's global challenges from climate change to unemployment and poverty-are both economic and social.
The presentations by experts from a range of fields illustrate the potential to unleash innovation to address social challenges through new entrepreneurial and policy experiments.

and counterclaims from scientists and experts on a whole range of issues. As Giddens (1990) points out in these circumstances,
the boundary between experts and the wider public has become blurred whenever one speaks of users and producers of knowledge (Nowotny, 1999).
Increasingly, the interaction between experts and public is considered an important precondition for technological and social innovations to occur.
There must be a willingness and intent to work with and embrace difference. There must be the possibility for influence
For policymakers, experts and leaders, this makes social innovation particularly messy and uncontrollable and can therefore, be difficult to accept.
