The Association for Promoting Inclusion (API) is a non-governmental and non-profit organization based on the philosophy of inclusion according to which people with intellectual disabilities have the right to be equal and active members of the society. Metal industry is one of the largest and most important industries, together with agriculture, in Brodsko Posavska County. Through history this industry was and still is one of the main drivers of the economy. Basic role and importance of entrepreneurial orientation is in creation of social values and characteristics of social entrepreneurs, their motivation and ethical frameworks.
