"Think of basic economics nowadays.
In the focus is the "ME" -
so, I start a business to make MY profit or to make MY ideas rise.
So, what Social Entrepreneurship does is changing the ME into WE.
And this relates to the relationship and trust among people, which is especially important here in our region and in Moldova where this connectedness has suffered a lot after the collapse of the Soviet Union".
(Julian Gröger, EcoVisio)
