Social Entrepreneurs Ireland

At Social Entrepreneurs Ireland we believe that new and innovative solutions exist to the myriad social and environmental challenges we face today. We believe that these solutions will be most effective when driven by individuals who adopt a highly entrepreneurial approach to their activities, i.e. by social entrepreneurs.

Our aim is to ignite social change by identifying, investing in, and supporting these social entrepreneurs and the organisations they launch.
