“… And for me, social entrepreneurship is more interesting than traditional entrepreneurship, in that you have a more complex problem. In other words, you have to create an organization or a body that really works financially, but at the same time you have to see what your impact is, how you influence the environment, how you integrate society. (Like this) you are more relevant to what is going on. If this “consciousness” of social entrepreneurship can reach either young people who want to start something, or existing organizations that they want, or they realize that there is a new trend (…) institutional changes can be made to encourage such initiatives. Or if not to encourage them, at least not to limit them. I believe that yes, social entrepreneurship can actually bring about a change (…) But it is something that needs time, work and desire. It is a daily action and battle.”
