This background is the basis for reflection and an to take an attempt to present the definition of entrepreneurship, which multitude in the literature review exists as the scientific subject. Hence, the aspect of conducted research is individual conditions and direct interviews, allowing to describe the social-economic environment in which current and potential business owners grow. Almost 300 years have passed since the publication of R. Cantillon’s theory lead economy to the creation of works in the field of social entrepreneurship.

The issue of entrepreneurship, however, takes on a different connotation when one additional feature of the entrepreneur is added under consideration: his physical disability. Then, social commitment, passion, openness and empathy take on new connotations, from which once again one feature that determines the whole process cannot be selected, only their team.

The Turkish experience was based on the Liberated Social Entrepreneur and Migport project, which meet the needs of many migrants in Turkey, improving their living conditions, activating socially needed activity, which in turn affects social peace in a country that is burdened with many risks—including political, belonging to the range of basic determinants limiting the economic development of this country.
