What is Entrepreneurship?
In this context, entrepreneurship refers to all the building blocks needed to set up a business. Entrepreneurship and innovation are also often defined as the self-directed pursuit of opportunities that creates social and/or economic value for our communities within the immediate or longer-term time frame. This also includes social entrepreneurship that drive to solve societal needs.
