Genio is a pioneering non-profit organisation that works with the public, private and non-profit sector to stimulate and support social innovation in Ireland that has lasting impact.

The solution to complex social and health issues cannot be found in a single organisation or person. It takes drive, commitment and collaboration.
 
Our role is to bring people together – the Government, health and social service providers, advocates, social policy experts, NGOs and business people – to support social innovation. Social innovation means identifying and scaling novel or existing solutions to social problems, which are more effective, cost-efficient, sustainable and just, and which benefit society as a whole.

We focus on those who do not have access to opportunities to live as full and valued members of society due to disability, educational disadvantage, poverty, age or other factors that act as barriers to participating fully in society. These are the people who are at the heart of Genio’s mission.
