Abstract: Abstract This research is triggered by the low business sustainability of soybean-based MSEs in West Java. There is a decreasing number of MSEs in the soybean-based food industry, high cases of environmental pollution, and labor and industrial conflicts within the community. The COVID-19 pandemic with the policy of restricting movement resulted in reduced business activity. Sustainable entrepreneur competence is a key factor in determining business sustainability, especially during the new normal period where people need to pay more attention to their own health and environment. This study aims to analyze the influence of sustainable entrepreneur competence on business sustainability. This research was conducted by surveying 185 MSEs in West Java by collecting data using questionnaires and interviews. The results of this study indicated that sustainable entrepreneur competence had an effect on business sustainability. The results of this study can be used as basic information for the priority of developing entrepreneur competencies that are able to run a business that is not only profit-oriented, but also pays attention to business continuity by protecting the environment, and has social concern for the community.
