Social Entrepreneurship Center

The vision of HEC Paris is to generate a positive impact on society and business. While entrepreneurial spirit is a shared value, responsibility and diversity are equally important.

The HEC Paris Social Entrepreneurship Center integrates these principles to promote a social and solidarity economy that benefits society, generates positive impact, and fosters structural changes for a more inclusive and fairer world.

The center reshapes the mindset of social entrepreneurs by providing skills empowerment and financial autonomy through dedicated mentoring and training sessions. Our programs are ideal for purpose-driven entrepreneurs with strong local foundations, aiming to scale their impact in economic, social, or environmental transformation.

These programs offer robust strategic and operational support to help change mindsets, expand inclusive businesses, and create a lasting value chain for society.

As part of the HEC Paris Innovation & Entrepreneurship Institute, we are dedicated to amplifying the efforts of social entrepreneurs to drive structural changes and generate job creation. Our commitment ensures that women, social, and solidarity enterprises not only succeed but also lead the way in creating sustainable, financially independent, and inclusive growth.
