Summary: 

The city of Sceaux has undertaken the construction of «Sceaux Valley», an ecosystem that mobilizes the collective intelligence present in its territory, in order to favor innovation and social entrepreneurship, projects with positive social impact and the creation of value shared by everybody. Within this framework, a tool that supports the management of social innovation allows for the identification of projects and solutions to the needs of the territory and offers them an environment suitable for exchanges, communication and collective construction before the stage where they are being incubated by the ecosystem. This tool, called «UP Sceaux» has been conceived with «UP Campus» the global social network of Groupe SOS - a social enterprise - in the context of a partnership with a City of Sceaux.
