Abstract A new educational approach towards problem-based learning using real life challenges is emerging in the entrepreneurship education. In entrepreneurship courses, where innovative ideas from students turn into new sustainable solutions that result in value creation for consumers, enterprises and the community. How can students develop new sustainable business ideas that is not causing new unsolved problems tomorrow? This is important for achieving sustainability. What are the most important factors to have in a structural model for collaboration to support this process? In this paper, a connection between sustainable development and entrepreneurship education has been strengthen, to see how courses can be designed and structured to connect teaching and real life projects within these two disciplines. This paper aims at identifying how universities can contribute to solve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through entrepreneurship education. It investigates the unique institutional context. To explore how universities can contribute, we combine entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability topics. We have analyzed and reflected on the factors at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Science (HVL- FES) and University of South-Eastern Norway, Natural sciences and Maritime sciences (USN-NMT) within entrepreneurship courses, and focus on how students, professors and stakeholders structure and develop collaboration networks to solve problems that end in new sustainable ideas.
