Abstract: At present, everyone agrees that in order to gain competitiveness, we must put the human being at the center of models of economic and social development since it constitutes the wealth of any country, and the key success factor on which all other competitive advantages are based. However, Morocco is one of the country's suffering from the increase in social magnitudes, namely poverty, social injustice, vulnerability, fragility, underemployment, unemployment, social exclusion, etc. It should be noted that such social phenomena weigh heavily on its economy and their absorption remains difficult, hence the need to seek new alternatives to fill its needs. It is in this sense that social entrepreneurship and social innovation are seen as innovative solutions that generate a social, concrete and lasting impact for the benefit of people, especially those who are harmed and disadvantaged. They even allow the creation of wealth, professional integration and the response to social needs not or poorly fulfilled by the state. The purpose of this paper is, on the one hand, to conceptualize the key concepts that interest us in particular social entrepreneurship and social innovation while at the same time exposing the link between the two. On the other hand, explain the transition of innovation to its social form while detecting approaches to social innovation and, of course, some related schools, and finally, examples of Moroccan entities forming an ecosystem of this type of innovation and seeking to promote, disseminate and put it at the heart of all processes.
