Abstract: The priority accent on the future we want is attuned to an ideal pattern of development which is economically efficient, ecologically friendly and socially desirable as underpinned in the goals, targets and indicators of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which replaced the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The latter failed to see the light of reality with the deadline for achieving the goals being dead. Amidst formidable challenges, new business niches do stem from the tenets and contours of SDGs. This article attempts to unveil viable avenues of such business niches. Growth without social inclusion entails growth without development. Making growth work for the poor is critical. Making science and technology work for the poor is more critical. Making urbanization work for the poor is equally critical. Emerging business opportunities seized by dynamic entrepreneurs should spread the benefits of growth across all segments of society. It is not an act of charity. It is indeed an act of human justice. New business opportunities should eventually save the people and the planet.
