Abstract: Social entrepreneurship has recently received greater recognition from the public sector, as well as from scholars. Whereas a dozen years ago the concept of social enterprise was rarely discussed, it is now making amazing breakthroughs on both sides of the Atlantic, especially in EU countries and the United States. In order to promote a competitive social market economy, the Commission has placed the social economy and social innovation at the heart of its concerns. The EU's new social-entrepreneurship initiative will support the creation and development of social enterprises, including making it easier for them to obtain funding.This paper analyses the impact of social-entrepreneurship over the EU business environment and the Europe's 2020 Strategy.
