Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze and to enlighten the main question of progress in SDGs implementation from the industry and market point of view. The research has three parts: sustainability agenda with a focus on sustainable finance, analysis on state of progress in SDGs implementation, and impetus factors for SDGs acceleration. The last part is particularly analysed with a focus on strengthening capacities through partnerships for sustainable financing – three case studies are shown from the following aspects: the importance of collaboration with International Financial Institutions (such as IFC, EBRD, UNECE), the role of universities and science and professional education, and international partnership platform. This evidence-based research shows that partnerships and capacity strengthening may be considered important impetus factors for the acceleration of SDGs.
