Summary/Abstract: Sustainable development is a guarantee against the challenges of today’s world. The idea is not new, it is evolving, presented at the beginning of the 21st century by Millennium Development Goals by 2015 and Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (UN 2015, 17 goals, 169 targets, 193 countries). The Agenda 2030 is the first agreement that provides for global action and affects all countries’ internal policies. World forums in 2016 stated that Global Sustainable Development Goals are not recognized by all stakeholders. The defined sustainable development goals and the related targets balance three dimensions – environmental, social and economic in areas such as poverty, inequality, food security, health, sustainable consumption and production, economic growth, employment, infrastructure, nature utilization, climate, as well as gender equality, peaceful and inclusive societies. Education plays a vital role in implementing the Global Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 (Goal 4). Universities are becoming powerful centres that provide young people with knowledge, skills and competence to be responsible leaders in the future. Educational and scientific centers are becoming incubators of ‘knowledge’ that is necessary for the creation of innovations, which are to be implemented by businesses. In response to the social, economic, environmental and managerial challenges facing the society, the research team focused on the key partnerships in the ‘Youth – Universities – Businesses’ triad as an instrument for the implementation of the Global Sustainable Development Goals.
