Artikel: Social entrepreneurship ecosystems in the Baltic Sea region: searching for rural perspectives

The Baltic Sea region faces diverse and uneven challenges, underscoring the need for new regional and rural development approaches. Social entrepreneurship gained attention for its potential to strengthen rural well-being and resilience. A supportive social entrepreneurship ecosystem (SEE) helps entrepreneurs to fulfill this role. However, spatial specificities of these ecosystems remain underexplored. This article delivers a qualitative document analysis of SEEs in six selected countries within the Baltic Sea region and it assesses representations of rurality. The findings reveal that most strategies and supportive structures within the ecosystems lack emphasis on the particularities of rurality for social entrepreneurship.
