"Mr President, social entrepreneurs are known for their ambition and persistence, using their energies to identify solutions to the problems faced by society. They are visionaries, but also realists, whose work changes as the social system adapts to the needs of the community. Global financial institutions recognise the benefits of investing in development, by supporting social entrepreneurs, and they usually prefer to fund them rather than social aid programmes.
I am convinced that social enterprises provide the necessary link between the private sector, driven by maximising profit, and the public sector, which needs to respond to social needs. Combining these two approaches makes payments more efficient and reduces losses, with direct benefits for the citizen. Social enterprises should benefit from the support of European funds of the prudential investors’ type, and be able to access a range of financial instruments. They also need the support of the national, regional and local authorities, both where financing is concerned and also in promoting them to give legitimacy to their social entrepreneurship initiatives."@en1
