The Pontis Foundation in cooperation with the international organization Ashoka has mapped people who bring unique solutions to social problems. The result is the Social Innovators Map, which features 461 active, courageous and inspiring personalities – both emerging and established innovators, together with their supporters from business and public administration. The data collection was carried out through a so-called snowball method – the contacted innovators recommended other people, who in turn recommended other people. The map thus shows not only the profiles of individuals but also the connections between them.

The Map does not include everyone who is trying to bring about positive change in Slovakia.
We believe and know that there are many more.
