Abstract

Modern society faces many new social problems - poverty, unemployment, aging, and so on. Local authorities are strongly committed to funding projects of social significance, but their capabilities are limited. Social entrepreneurship and social business offer innovative solutions that combine sustainable development goals with social integration at the regional level. Therefore, the aim of this report is to distinguish between the main features of the two types of business and to show the benefit of their functioning for the society.
