Abstract

The evolution of an entrepreneurial ecosystem is intricately linked to the broader tapestry of ecological and biological diversity. As we cultivate innovations to address economic challenges, we must parallel these efforts with a commitment to sustainability. Youth entrepreneurship serves as a vital component of this ecosystem, not only fostering economic resilience through job creation but also promoting practices that respect ecological balance. The “Startup as a Diploma” initiative at Sevastopol State University exemplifies this dual approach by integrating entrepreneurial thinking with ecological awareness. This program encourages students to develop business models that prioritize biodiversity, ensuring that technological advancements harmonize with environmental stewardship. By nurturing these competencies, we can enrich both the entrepreneurial landscape and the ecological framework, facilitating a thriving, sustainable future.
