Abstract: Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, Big Data Analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT) are the emerging techniques that lead to the breakneck pace, and change the opportunities for the entrepreneurial and pose difficulties in the startup culture. These technologies provide a way for new startups to shape the entrepreneurial ecosystems and help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of technologies on the startups that lead toward the achievement of SDGs and enhance the role of education and innovation in the domain of entrepreneurship. PLS-SEM was used to measure the relationship between the constructs of the data that were collected from the 405 young entrepreneurs in China. The findings reveal that emerging technologies have a positive impact on achieving the SDGs from the entrepreneurial startups. Similarly, entrepreneurial education positively mediates the relationship among emerging technologies and startups. Moreover, ambidextrous innovation moderates the positive value of entrepreneurial education and startups. This study also helps to provide valuable insight into academia, policymakers, and industry by using technology-driven entrepreneurship.
