The crisis of 2007 has marked some trends that indicate a new global socio-technical mutation. Accompanied in the last years by the construction and consolidation of the subject-entrepreneur and the “entrepreneurship”, the so-called "emerging technologies" begin to be linked to forms of organization of the social and solidary economy.

In relation to the aforementioned, this article will focus on the following hypothesis: the interest and emphasis placed by the public sector and the private sector, both in the forms of organization of the social and solidary economy - embedded in the ideas of "entrepreneurship" and subjects-entrepreneurs-as well as in the social relations they enable, are linked to new tendencies of socio-technical transformation that imply a greater decentralization of production, distribution, exchange and consumption in today's capitalism.

Our work aims to provide a series of theoretical reflections on the orientation of neoliberalism in today's capitalism, the increasing digitalization of work and, especially, its interest in the social and solidary economy. We will focus on the critical analysis of selected authors and documents from international as well as national organizations.

Keywords : Social and solidary economy; emerging technologies; labour digitization; social relations; neoliberalism.
