Puchkov E., Knyaginina N.

The report examines the ecosystem supporting the development of social entrepreneurship in Europe. It considers the historical evolution of the sector, the approaches adopted by the European Union and individual countries to defining and recognising social enterprises, and the differences between European and Russian models. Particular attention is paid to the role of social enterprises in local development, work integration, the provision of socially important services, and the transition to a circular economy. The report also reviews financial and non-financial support instruments, educational programmes, accelerators, and professional networks. European experience is presented not as a model for direct replication, but as a source of practices and solutions that can be adapted by social entrepreneurs in Russia.
