“…Recent contributions have focused on resource dependencies and nexus thinking (George et al, 2015;Schillebeeckx et al, 2018), framing (Reinecke & Ansari, 2016;Wright & Nyberg, 2017), as well as the pursuit, promise, and limitations of inclusive growth (George et al, 2019;Halme et al, 2012).

We explore how digital technologies are helping address grand challenges to tackle climate change and promote sustainable development. With digital technologies, entrepreneurial organizations have adopted innovative approaches to tackle seemingly intractable societal challenges. We refer to these broadly as digital sustainability activities. By focusing on the digital toolbox employed by pioneering organizations, we propose a research agenda that generates novel questions for entrepreneurship, business models, and ecosystems as well as new ways of thinking about trust and institutional logics. We believe that digital sustainability can spur empirical advances in entrepreneurship, innovation, and strategy with potential for positive impact on society.
