Social Entrepreneurship (SE) addresses a social need by responding with entrepreneurial principles to achieve social change. Business entrepreneurs are driven to achieve profits and return, while social entrepreneurs also seek to create social change.

This can be achieved by creating new business ventures or within existing for profit, not-for-profit or governmental institutions.
