The social entrepreneur

Social entrepreneur is an individual with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. The job of social entrepreneur is to recognize when a part of society is stuck and to provide new ways to get it unstuck. He inds what is not working and solves the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution and persuading entire societies to take new leaps.

Ultimately, social entrepreneur is driven to produce measurable impact by opening up new pathways for the marginalized and disadvantaged, and unlocking society's full potential to effect social change.

The past two decades have seen an explosion of entrepreneurship and a healthy competition in the social sector, which has discovered what the business sector learned from the railroad, the stock market and the digital revolution: Nothing is as powerful as a big new idea if it is in the hands of a first class entrepreneur. Regarding this concept, in my point of view the social entrepreneurship is really a trend.
