Abstract

After the breakdown of Soviet Communism, Georgia like other soviet republics has been transforming from administrative command economies to market economies. This transformation has caused changes in economic, social, and political domains offering new market opportunities in entrepreneurship.Yet, social entrepreneurship is still an undeveloped area. The concept aims at solving social problems and facilitates the effective implementation of Sustainable Development Goals.Through innovation and business operations social entrepreneurs contribute to the economy while addressing social issues. The paper offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of social entrepreneurship in Georgia, examines social entrepreneurship practices, analyzes the activities of social enterprises, and discusses their missions. Overall, 63 social enterprises were studied. The presented article contributes to the broad investigation of social entrepreneurship in post-soviet Georgia and paves the way for further empirical studies of the challenges and opportunities from social entrepreneurs’ perspectives.
