Abstract
Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Innovation are essential tools in the transition towards a more fair, healthy, and sustainable society. This chapter gives an overview of the two decades of research on the topic and discusses the current state of its application. It shows that the current literature lacks a more profound theoretical and practical investigation. Nevertheless, these gaps may be covered soon, as the number of publications in this area is growing. Additionally, the chapter explores the importance of a radical approach, open innovation strategies, and collaboration to foster sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation and tackle the Grand Challenges of modern society.

I think everyone agrees that the critical role that sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation play in addressing pressing global challenges. It highlights both the growing body of research and the current gaps in theoretical and practical understanding within the field. The discussion on radical approaches and open innovation strategies emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts to drive meaningful change. Overall, the chapter provides a valuable roadmap for integrating sustainability into entrepreneurial and innovation practices to tackle significant societal issues.
