Millennials, or people born between 1981 and 1996, make up the largest portion of the world population and have different traits than other generational cohorts. In 2015, PEW Research Center findings showed that 34% of millenials do not identify with a religion. Millennials believe in human rights more than religion. In connecting with spirituality, they believe in the concept that all human beings are equal. They feel a deep sense of connection in helping each other regardless of gender, race, religion, or political affiliation. They want to defend their future and the planet, which is leading them to choose firms that embrace sustainability. Natural-product consumerism and anything that connects them with nature appeals them. With increased attention being paid to the role of millennials during a time of critical change in Indonesia, this research emphasizes the importance of student specific action and understanding on the implementation of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2030) through their learning activities at Telkom University Indonesia, focusing on ecopreneurship and sociopreneurship courses. The ecopreneurship and sociopreneurship concept provides the millennials with ideas, actions and starting points towards a sustainable world. This research is aimed to illustrate the graduate students- perceptions of how the SDGs 2030 create an initiative to view and assess the potential of resources and opportunities with the target of bringing for-profit ventures into existence through their environmental and social lenses.
