The convergence of Sustainability and Web 3.0 marks a defining moment in the evolution of global business, technology, environment and society. As the world transitions into a decentralized and data-driven era, the challenge lies not only in harnessing digital innovation but in ensuring that this transformation supports ethical, inclusive, and sustainable growth. This conference brings together scholars, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and innovators to explore how Web 3.0 technologies (blockchain, AI, smart contracts, and the metaverse) can empower sustainable business models and reshape economic ecosystems. By bridging the technological, economic, environment and social dimensions, participants will discuss new pathways for creating value that balances profit with purpose, innovation with responsibility, and digital progress with environmental stewardship. Through multidisciplinary lenses spanning business, management, economics, information systems, environment and social sciences, the event aims to foster actionable knowledge, collaborative frameworks, and policy insights that drive the next generation of sustainable business innovation in the digital age.
