Social Venturing

Social venturing entrepreneurship (SVE) applies entrepreneurship and investments in a business-minded format and entrepreneurial approach to societal problems in areas where the market is functioning poorly or lacks. The Netherlands Institute for Social Venturing Entrepreneurship (NSVE) conducts scientific research after this new approach of social entrepreneurship to solve societal problems, which the commercial market, philanthropy and government do not address as their core competence. This entrepreneurial approach goes explicitly further than “creating valuable and useful things for people’. These social investors and entrepreneurs do invest in society via products and services to stimulate people towards independent actioning and self-sustainment to bring them in equal (economic) positions in an entrepreneurial and lasting way.
