A partir da questão inicial: O que acontece a estas iniciativas após o término dos programas de apoio financeiro? O estudo investiga os percursos dessas iniciativas, identificando os desafios e os fatores que influenciaram a sua trajetória depois do financiamento. Tendo em conta as unidades de análise as (IIES) cofinanciadas pelo município de Vila Nova de Gaia, faz-se uso de uma metodologia qualitativa, através de entrevistas em profundidade aos responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento dos projetos.
Esta investigação contribui para uma compreensão profunda dos mecanismos de financiamento e sustentabilidade da inovação social em Gaia, oferecendo recomendações para empreendedores sociais, investidores e formuladores de políticas públicas.
A análise de conteúdo às 16 entrevistas realizadas indica que os instrumentos financeiros apesar de serem um impulso para o lançamento inicial dos projetos de inovação social são algumas vezes insuficientes para garantir a sua continuidade.
Apesar da maioria das IIES terem alcançado sucesso. A transição para a sustentabilidade é um desafio significativo que os projetos enfrentam, após o financiamento. Evidenciando-se dificuldades na capacidade de diversificação das fontes de rendimento e na capacidade de determinação e comunicação do impacto social alcançado. Além disso, o estudo evidencia a importância das parcerias intersectoriais para a sustentabilidade das iniciativas após o término do programa de financiamento, onde se destaca o papel complementar que diferentes tipos de investidores são capazes de desempenhar. As conclusões apontam para a necessidade de desenvolver instrumentos de apoio mais flexíveis e de longo prazo.
