As revealed in our newly published EMIMSEB Report on Social Entrepreneurship, the answer depends on where you are and how far your country has come in recognising social enterprises.
🔍 Here are some key insights from the report:
🇲🇹 Malta only introduced its legal definition of a social enterprise in 2022 – it’s still a young sector, but growing fast.
🇬🇷 Greece has more than 1,000 officially registered social enterprises, but still faces challenges in access to funding and visibility.
🇮🇹 Italy was an early mover: the term “social enterprise” entered the legal vocabulary back in 2006, with strong support from regional policies.
🇫🇷 France has a well-developed ecosystem thanks to the ESS law (2014), integrating cooperatives and mutuals under one umbrella.
🇪🇸 Spain presents a rich landscape of legal forms, but lacks a unified national legal definition — which remains a key demand from the sector.
💬 The report offers a comparative look at definitions, incentives, and policies — and features 10 inspiring case studies of social enterprises working in agri-food, inclusion, and circular economy.
