Touristic of Social Enterprises What does social entrepreneurship mean?

Social entrepreneurship is a relatively new but rapidly growing sector in Georgia and involves solving a certain s ocial/green issue with business activity.

Unlike the usual, only proﬁt-oriented enterprise, social enterprise has two goals: social and economic.
Nowadays, to understand the concept of social entrepreneurship in Georgia, the European Union deﬁnition is mostly used, according to which a social enterprise is a social economy operator whose main goal is to create a social impact, instead of providing proﬁt to the owners.

Its activity is to provide products and services to the market with innovative and entrepreneurial principles and uses its proﬁts primarily to achieve social goals.
Its management is carried out transparently, with high responsibility, and with the involvement of employees, customers, and interested parties.

Social entrepreneurship in Georgia began to develop about 10 years ago, and the trend of creating new social enterprises is growing.

Today, there are more than 100 social enterprises in Georgia, which already have tangible social results Why social entrepreneurship?
The most important factor for the development of social entrepreneurship in the country stems from the important role it plays in social change in society.

The range of goals of social enterprises is diverse, and their role in society can be employment promotion, provision of social services, development of vulnerable regions/settlements, environmental protection, the introduction of a healthy lifestyle, protection of historical and cultural heritage, etc.
