SDGs on Steroids: The Power of Scalable Entrepreneurship

This literature review explores the role of entrepreneurship in strengthening impact towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Drawing from various studies on sustainable entrepreneurship, social innovation, and economic transformation, the paper examines how entrepreneurs worldwide can leverage business models to address global challenges such as environmental degradation, inequality, and poverty. Using a systematic review of existing literature from sources like Scopus and academic journals, it identifies key trends, including the integration of digital technologies, green practices, and collaborative networks in entrepreneurship. The findings highlight barriers like limited resources in developing countries and opportunities for policy support to enhance SDG alignment, particularly in areas like SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). Ultimately, this review proposes strategies for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and stakeholders to foster scalable, inclusive business initiatives that contribute to a sustainable future (Esteves et al., 2021).
