This book intends to serve as a resource for researchers in sustainability; innovation studies; ecological economics; and Science, Technology, and Society (STS) studies. It also provides practical guidance for policymakers and practitioners working at the interface of energy, environment, and entrepreneurship. By integrating theory and practice, this work calls for collaboration among multilevel stakeholders, particularly in the emerging economy contexts, to co‐develop sustainability‐oriented strategies that drive economic growth while addressing pressing environmental and societal challenges.
