Abstract

The driving force of every successful economy in the world is entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial university is a concept which explains universities that provide a good environment, culture, opportunities, and practices that enhance student entrepreneurship. This study discusses components that characterize the entrepreneurial university such as leadership and governance, organizational capacity, people and incentives, entrepreneurship development in learning and teaching, university relationship for exchange of knowledge, and entrepreneurial university as an international institution. The study confirms the critical role that higher education institutions play in fostering entrepreneurial culture among university students and staff.
