Sustainable Entrepreneurship
Sustainable entrepreneurship is the use of entrepreneurship principles to create value and solve problems related to sustainability. Entrepreneurs are increasingly drawn to green or cleantech ventures - not only out of a sense that solving environmental issues is the right thing to do, but it can be very profitable as well.
An increasing number of applicants for Edson, Entrepreneur Advantage Project and Pathways Entrepreneurship Grants are bringing ideas to solve our pressing environmental problems. The School of Sustainability in turn is developing a new generation prepared to tackle these issues.
