In this paper, we aim to develop a conceptualization and delimitation of social enterprises in Flanders, which will be the starting point for a monitor of the social economy in Flanders. We aim for this monitor to represent reality, that is to be in line with the international academic research while also being informed by policy visions and validated by representatives in the field. To achieve this, we studied academic literature and definitions of social enterprises, as well as in policy documents. We then translated these definitions into ten criteria defining social enterprises in Flanders, via focus groups with the representatives of social enterprises in Flanders.
