The RIKKS platform, a remarkable innovation within the RRR initiative
Â
In 2020, the OECD launched a “global action” covering thirty countries to promote the ecosystems of the Social and Solidarity Economy. ScaleChanger is part of the programme consortium within the “Respond, Rebuild, Reinvent” (RRR) project, alongside 15 other partners. The ambition of RRR is to gather 9 cities (Dublin, Montreal, Rotterdam, Warsaw, San Francisco, Guadalajara, Belo Horizonte, Turin and Bilbao) so they can exchange practices and collaborate to fully embrace and disseminate social innovations developed by SSE actors in response to the Covid-19 pandemic challenges.
Since the launch of the RRR project, ScaleChanger has been working closely with the city of Rotterdam, whose social innovation has been acclaimed by the other cities: the RIKX platform. RIKX is a “marketplace” for social impact that monetises the impact of social innovations responding to the city’s public policy challenges. It is also a means to attract public and private investors to finance the deployment of these innovations. The first pilot implemented in Rotterdam contributed to accelerate solutions on access to employment for people furthest from the labor market.
