Strategic Priority

Building Social Entrepreneurial Knowledge and Technical Know-How

Overview

Innovative ideas are needed to craft approaches that address society’s most pressing issues.

Florida Institute for Health Innovation believes in transformative focused social change that takes place through innovation as leaders in social entrepreneurship. As a catalyst in communities, FIHI aims to create rippling effects recognizing and pursuing opportunities to create social value by taking on society’s most pressing problems and turning them into solutions that change communities for the better.

Channeling Your Passion

Empowering social entrepreneur leaders to channel their passion as innovators is key to predicting success as it shows commitment to projects and ideas as well as an interest in the community they will be serving. Passion brings persistence and will allow these social entrepreneurs to overcome obstacles and barriers that may present through their journey. We foster that passion and turn it into important projects that address gaps of services in communities of need.

Reach and Transferability

A good model for a project or program prides itself in being adaptable and transferable to any community. Although communities differ structurally, a balance exists where solutions and programs are designed to have larger reach and transferability while being flexible to implement modifications that apply to the culture and structures of communities. This is key for us at FIHI.  

Effective and Resourceful

Challenges may arise in project sustainability in the communities, which is why at FIHI we believe in utilizing all resources and taking advantage of the opportunities available to maximize the capacity for positive change. This is done through the application of social and cultural awareness with business practices in the community that allows for the building of endurance despite having limited resources and obstacles that may arise.
