Social entrepreneurs solve social problems
“There is nothing more powerful than a good idea in the hands of a passionate entrepreneur.”
Bill Drayton, founder of Ashoka
The above statement is relevant for both the private and the social sector. Social entrepreneurs are the new driving force behind social change. They develop innovative, market-orientated approaches and implement them on their own. Their goal: Universal and permanent solutions for social problems in sectors such as education, family, environment, the struggle against poverty, integration and human rights.
There are many examples of exceptional entrepreneurs, which we present in our CASE STUDIES.
Social businesses are often set up as hybrid organisational structures. Dependent on their area of activity, objective and business model, they finance themselves selling traditional profit-oriented products and services and/or receive donations – just as non-profit organizations do.
