Abstract
The aim of the article is to describe the reasons and the creation model for a business game designed to simulate a sustainable business model, a game that will then be applied within engineering education. Our research acknowledges the key relationship between the crucial role played by businesses embracing sustainable business models and the increasing use of digital platforms for education on sustainability goals. By integrating these components into the university curriculum, a comprehensive approach emerges that fosters the development of knowledge, essential skills, attitudes, and values dedicated to creating sustainable businesses of the future, developed by tomorrow's managers. Through the business game, individuals not only gain an understanding of the complexities of sustainability but also actively engage in initiatives aimed at promoting social impact and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. This digital business game for sustainability education is primarily dedicated to university students: especially those in engineering, but also those in other faculties, with the aim of providing instructions on how to start entrepreneurial activities through sustainable business models. This study contributes to the understanding of sustainable business practices and innovative educational methodologies, in line with the global imperative of sustainability.
