ENTREPRENEURSHIP & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FOR GLOBAL GROWTH

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is now widely recognised as a crucial engine of long-term development and global economic progress. This study examine the roles of entrepreneurship in advancing economic, social, and environmental sustainability. The work employed a conceptual and analytical research strategy, reviewing current materials published between 2020 and 2026 in peer-reviewed journals, policy papers, and conference proceedings. The study integrates three strands of entrepreneurship innovation, social entrepreneurship, and green entrepreneurship to show their combine contribution towards sustainable development. The results demonstrated how entrepreneurship fosters economic expansion by generating jobs, innovating, and growing small and medium-sized businesses. Furthermore, entrepreneurial endeavours tackling social issues improve access to vital services like healthcare and education, foster inclusion, and improve community well-being. By encouraging the use of renewable energy, resource efficiency, and ecologically conscious production methods, environmentally focused businesses further contribute to sustainability. The study also emphasised the significance of innovation ecosystems, entrepreneurship education, and supportive policies in bolstering sustainable entrepreneurial endeavours. The study concluded that entrepreneurship serves as an effective mechanism for promoting economic growth and achieving sustainable development goals at the global level.
