Jubilee of Entrepeneurs

 Immediately following the Jubilee of Workers, the Jubilee of Entrepreneurs is due to take place in the days 4th-5th May 2025. The close association of these two events does make sense, as it is the entrepreneur who can create opportunities for workers; and it is workers who can in many situations make things possible for an entrepreneur. In his encyclical Laborem Exercens, Pope St John Paul II drew attention to the human person who is the subject of the activity of work, and this is an aspect of commercial life that the entrepreneur is also called to respect.

....the primary basis of the value of work is man himself, who is its subject. This leads immediately to a very important conclusion of an ethical nature: however true it may be that man is destined for work and called to it, in the first place work is "for man" and not man "for work". Through this conclusion one rightly comes to recognize the pre-eminence of the subjective meaning of work over the objective one. Given this way of understanding things, and presupposing that different sorts of work that people do can have greater or lesser objective value, let us try nevertheless to show that each sort is judged above all by the measure of the dignity of the subject of work, that is to say the person, the individual who carries it out. On the other hand: independently of the work that every man does, and presupposing that this work constitutes a purpose-at times a very demanding one-of his activity, this purpose does not possess a definitive meaning in itself. In fact, in the final analysis it is always man who is the purpose of the work, whatever work it is that is done by man-even if the common scale of values rates it as the merest "service", as the most monotonous even the most alienating work.

A project of the Focolare Movement demonstrates how business owners can run companies in a way that respects both those who are employed in the company and the wider community within which the company might be inserted. It is called Economy of Communion in Freedom. The article The Economy of Communion takes flight gives an account of how the project began - note that the "little town" or "little city" referred to describes a small town in which members and collaborators of the Focolare Movement live together to foster communion: 

The fundamental nucleus of the Economy of Communion in Freedom (EoC) can be summarized in three concepts: there was to be an industrial park with productive businesses located close to the movement’s little town; economic resources must be entrusted to competent individuals; the profits must be shared: one part for persons in need, one part to be invested in the industry itself to ensure its growth, one part for the formation of a new generation for a new society. 

The main website  Economy of Communion in Freedom gives an idea of the life of the project today. Through the recognition that the human person is made for communion, central to the charism of the Focolare Movement, this project puts the human person at the centre of the commercial enterprise. The subject (in St John Paul II's sense) of entrepreneurship is the person of the entrepreneur; the subject of work is the person who is employed in the enterprise.
