Abstract: Abstract Social innovation parks, as emerging institutional phenomena, involve government agencies, non-government organizations (NGOs), non-profit organizations (NPOs), support institutions for social businesses and social entrepreneurs, and so on. In this study, we argue that social innovation parks take different forms depending on their strategies, owners, sponsors (investors), and function mechanisms. A social innovation park can be started by universities, governmental agencies, NPOs, entrepreneurial philanthropists, and dedicated holding companies. These social innovation parks can be operated at the international, national, regional, and/or local level. Here, it is their different roles in social innovation that are highlighted.
