		<description><![CDATA[To help jumpstart job growth in Massachusetts, a unique public/private partnership, Masschallenge.org, was launched earlier this year that hopes to attract hundreds if not thousands of interested entrepreneurs to Massachusetts by unveiling what it claims is the world’s largest business plan competition. It hopes to change the way business plans are run by providing the winning teams with $1 million in seed funding in six different categories. With these incentives from MassChallenge and the support of the Massachusetts Government, the many entries the "Social Development and Non-profit" category will attract could help create the next new growth cluster in the state.

		<description><![CDATA[I do believe there is an appropriate role for government to play in encouraging growth in social innovation. The single most critical issue for a young, startup social entrepreneur is the lack of a well structured ecosystem to encourage social innovation. The government can be a transparent facilitator and address these issues and then get out of the way and let the market work its way. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.ambientengines.com&blog=3998279&post=522&subd=socialecosystem&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clayton Christensen recently opined in The Huffington Post  about the role the White House Office of Social Innovation could play. He suggests "Bottom up " initiatives are needed. However I think the real issue is not “bottom up” initiatives but a complete lack of a supporting social ecosystem to encourage radical innovation and nurture young social entrepreneurs.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.ambientengines.com&blog=3998279&post=519&subd=socialecosystem&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
