Digital Technologies, Social Entrepreneurship and Governance for Sustainable Development

In order to encourage and develop technological and social innovations, it is relevant to create and support businesses that foster such innovations. Additionally, sustainable development requires business transformation to complement several social, economic, or ecological problems. Social entrepreneurship as a type of business focuses on solving social, cultural, or environmental problems and creating effective responses to such challenges. By providing new working places, offering creative solutions to everyday problems, and highlighting the importance of social solidarity, social entrepreneurship contributes to sustainable development goals. In these conditions, the impact of digitalization is unavoidable: it relates technologies, consumers, and business strategies and stimulates necessary changes. This research emphasizes the use of digital technologies and applying the principles of digital culture by social business to foster technological innovations and contribute to the realization of sustainable development goals. The examples from the Russian social entrepreneurship applying digital innovations illustrate this idea.
