Despite the variety of forms and spheres of social entrepreneurship (SE) activity, common to different national traditions is the definition of social entrepreneurship as an innovative form of socio-economic activity that combines a social mission with an entrepreneurial function and is based on the principles of sustainable self-sufficiency of the enterprise and the creation of not only commercial, but also social added value.

The goal of most joint ventures in global practice is to provide conditions for employment and resocialization, and therefore to overcome the level of social exclusion for the most vulnerable population groups (people with disabilities, refugees, former prisoners, the elderly). Solving environmental problems and developing a culture of responsible consumption are also an important component of social entrepreneurship.

Accordingly, the main types of SE are defined: inclusive entrepreneurship, eco-entrepreneurship (green business), veteran business, creative entrepreneurship, craftivism, academic entrepreneurship, school entrepreneurship, sports entrepreneurship, advocacy business.

The development of social entrepreneurship in Ukraine intensified with the beginning of the russian-Ukrainian war in 2014. Most joint ventures are engaged in solving problems caused by the war: resocialization, advocacy and overcoming the stigmatization of vulnerable categories of the population - forced migrants, disabled people and war veterans.

The economic potential of social entrepreneurship lies in the fact that it increases the overall economic efficiency (national wealth) due to the involvement in the economic cycle of such previously unused resources as: labor of socially limited groups; positive behavioral norms (initiative, solidarity, trust); non-traditional sources of energy supply, production waste, etc.
