One of the most effective ways to evolve as a society is by identifying and sharing best practices that contribute positively to socio-economic development. This document presents some of the best practices identified within the scope of the Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Map (MIES), which aims to map initiatives with high potential for social innovation and entrepreneurship in Portugal. As the mapping process is now halfway of its methodology, there is no intention to make a profound qualitative distinction of the initiatives found, but rather to present some of those that admittedly contribute to the well-being and socio-economic development of the Porto Metropolitan Area (AMP).
