Abstract: The paper examines Hungarian social innovations in the field of poverty. Besides describing their main features, it examines empirical linkages between the rate of social innovations and economic growth. It uses the database of the SozialMarie prize and its methodology includes graphs and Pearson’s correlation. It concludes that the main target groups of the projects coincide with the groups most exposed to poverty. It also finds that economic growth and the rate of social innovations are not significantly related. This implies that more social activism would be needed to alleviate poverty in the less developed regions.
