The actors of economics have long recognized that in regions where there is a lack of economic and natural science innovation, social innovation can be a compensating factor. This recent research presents a methodology for measuring social innovation potential (index) and defines a knowledge engineering system that helps to generate such innovations. This can be applicable to defining the intervention axis along which social innovation potential can be increased.
