“…Limitations range from limited environmental cognizance and capital constraints to the dearth of requisite training infrastructures (Muo & Azeez, 2019). Papageorgiou et al (2021b) further supplement this by highlighting the value of systemic configurations in supporting entrepreneurial ventures. The incorporation of system thinking and dynamics tools, especially in sectors like the creative arts, can effectively elevate the chances for survival and prosperity of entrepreneurial endeavors by spotting opportunities and enhancing creativity.…”

Amid the ascension of climate change and global warming as pervasive issues of worldwide relevance, the urgency for environmental entrepreneurship and sustainable development has been notably emphasized. This focus becomes critical within rapidly maturing economies such as Indonesia, where the potential to significantly influence climate neutrality and business competitiveness is immense, contingent upon the effective cultivation of green entrepreneurial ethos. However, the integration rate of eco-friendly business tenets remains discouragingly static, largely due to acute insufficiencies in consciousness-raising, pedagogical resources, and sector-specific proficiency. The present paper embarks on a critical scrutiny of environmental business opportunities within the Indonesian milieu. A comprehensive discrepancy analysis pertaining to the development of green entrepreneurship proficiencies is detailed, predominantly from a community vantage point. This inquiry constitutes a part of the European-endorsed initiative, the ASEAN Network for Green Entrepreneurship and Leadership (ANGEL), purposed to fortify entrepreneurial competence and sustainable perspective among diverse community stakeholders. Through a methodologically structured survey, engagement with academia, requisite support for communal development, and perceived hindrances to nurturing green entrepreneurship are explored. The findings highlight a substantial interest to the promotion of green entrepreneurship within the community, with resource scarcity emerging as a formidable challenge. Moreover, our discrepancy analysis underscores a pressing need for escalated cooperation among key participants, including local enterprises, governmental agencies, and residential communities, to enable the efficacious actualization of green entrepreneurial ventures. The paper extends its probe to capture the community's perspective on green entrepreneurship, considering the viewpoints of women, minority groups, and financially marginalized segments within urban and rural contexts. Despite a robust commitment towards green entrepreneurship detected in the survey responses, the manifestation of sustainability-centred initiatives remains sparse. The paper concludes by delineating the impediments encountered in the proliferation of green entrepreneurship, underlining the vital need for sustained efforts to overcome these barriers and further propel Indonesia's journey towards sustainability. The research delineated in this paper represents a significant leap towards comprehending and fostering green entrepreneurship in Indonesia, providing crucial insights to stakeholders aiming to act as catalysts for future progression in this domain.

This paper explores the critical nexus between Green Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development,illuminating their combined potential as a powerful tool for mitigating environmental crises such as global warming andclimate change. With a particular focus on burgeoning economies, especially Indonesia, it underscores the immensepossibilities embedded within a proactive integration of sustainable practices into entrepreneurship. This not only pavesthe way towards climate neutrality but also cultivates competitive advantages in business enterprises. Despite thetremendous potential, the widespread adoption of Green Entrepreneurship has been persistently stifled by a profound lackof awareness, an alarming paucity of educational resources, and a dearth of specialised knowledge within the field. Thesefactors collectively contribute to the unimpressive rate of implementation and relatively low acceptance of GreenEntrepreneurship. To address this conundrum, this scholarly article undertakes a comprehensive gap analysis aimed atevaluating the future prospects of Green Entrepreneurship within Indonesia. It does so through a detailed examination ofthe development of Green Entrepreneurship skills from the perspective of educators. The study forms part of a broaderinitiative - the ASEAN Network for Green Entrepreneurship and Leadership (ANGEL) - a European-funded project devotedto equipping university graduates and disadvantaged societal groups with vital entrepreneurial skills geared towardssustainability. The analytical framework of the research draws upon a conducted survey among university faculty members,supplemented with a focus group discussion with participants involving a diverse mix of faculty, students, andadministrative staff. The findings underscore a strikingly limited focus on Green Entrepreneurship within the curriculum.However, they also reveal a robust commitment and a strong willingness to infuse existing syllabi with GreenEntrepreneurial facets. To accomplish this, the research identifies the need to surmount significant challenges, primarilythose related to resource availability. Furthermore, the gap analysis points towards the need for amplifying collaborationamong a broad spectrum of stakeholders. These include local businesses, government agencies, and the broadercommunity. Such partnerships can significantly assist universities in crafting effective business school curricula that instil asustainability mindset. Moving forward, the research proposes to extend its scope to embrace the viewpoints of communitymembers. This would encompass a particular focus on traditionally marginalized groups, including women, minorities, andeconomically disadvantaged segments in both urban and rural communities.

“…Kheirabadi and Rafeian (2019) mentioned that Amazon.com, Google.com, and eBay.com have transformed into digital entrepreneur platforms in order to enhance their revenues and increase customer satisfaction (Hänninen et al, 2018). Accordingly, a digital entrepreneur is a person who performs key business activities, such as production, marketing, distribution, and stakeholder management, by depending on ICT (Papageorgiou et al, 2021).…”

“…Due to the importance of digital technologies in business and management (Lombardi,2019), some universities have paid attention to applying digital entrepreneurship education, such as Georgia Tech University, applying Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to their engineering undergraduate students (Secundo et al, 2020). In this context, entrepreneurship encourages students to be up-to-date and very interactive in business life (Papageorgiou et al, 2021). So, it is necessary to apply digital tools , such as MOOCs, 3D printing , social media, big data analytics, and cloud platforms in universities to reinforce digital entrepreneurship among students (Rippa and Secundo, 2019;Guerrero et al,2021;Castillo-Abdul et al,2021).…”

Entrepreneurship is an economic tool that aims to enhance people's lives. Digital entrepreneurship is one of the latest theories that academic research tries to cover. This study examines the factors that influence undergraduate tourism students to apply digital entrepreneurship. Despite the presence of several studies that tackled different aspects of entrepreneurship in Egypt, there is limited research about applying digital entrepreneurship, especially among undergraduate tourism students. So, the current study tries to fill this gap. In this context, the research depended on the quantitative method in which the researcher distributed questionnaires to the third and fourth-year students enrolled in the Tourism Studies Department, Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management, Helwan University. The valid questionnaires are 213 out of 250. The research used regression analysis to prove that DL, AE, PT, and ATDE affect the DEIs of undergraduate tourism students. In this regard, the study hypotheses are supported. It is worth mentioning that the field study points out the main barriers that hinder applying digital entrepreneurship among undergraduate tourism students. Finally, the study provided many recommendations and proposed a framework to enhance the application of digital entrepreneurship among undergraduate tourism students.
