Social entrepreneurship, a response to social needs

Social entrepreneurship

The concept of social entrepreneurship places the emphasis on the entrepreneur, his or her values, mission and approach and the social impact of the business.

The term refers to a social economy enterprise or a non-profit organization with a strong social mission, and not to a business’ legal form.
