Esta investigación presenta una revisión de la literatura teórica y empírica sobre saberes ancestrales y emprendimiento. Su objetivo es analizar los aportes realizados en esta temática desde 1997 hasta 2025, proporcionando información sobre emprendimientos basados en conocimientos ancestrales en Europa, Asia, África, Oceanía y América, e ilustrando su impacto positivo a nivel global. La metodología utilizada consiste en una revisión sistemática de literatura en bases de datos de alto impacto, como Scopus, Web of Science y ScienceDirect. Los resultados evidencian el creciente interés en la relación entre conocimiento ancestral y emprendimiento, destacando sectores clave como la agricultura, el turismo y la artesanía. Asimismo, se identifican estudios de caso que permiten comprender las dinámicas y el valor económico de estos modelos empresariales. Finalmente, se discuten los desafíos y críticas asociados a la aplicación de modelos empresariales convencionales en contextos indígenas, resaltando la necesidad de estrategias adaptadas a cada realidad cultural. Este análisis contribuye al debate sobre la valorización del conocimiento ancestral en el emprendimiento y su papel en la construcción de economías más inclusivas y sostenibles.
