Spreading The Entrepreneurial Mindset and The University’s New Role in Building the National Economy

Abstract

This study aims to shed light on the university’s new role, which now goes beyond education and training to include contributing to the construction of the national economy. This is achieved through promoting and developing the entrepreneurial spirit within university communities by relying on a set of mechanisms, and creating spaces dedicated to entrepreneurship education such as the Entrepreneurship House, business incubators, scientific clubs, as well as forums and academic seminars related to enhancing the culture of entrepreneurship among university students. This strategy is likely to embrace students’ ideas and projects and bring them to life, allowing students to become entrepreneurs with the support of various state-backed institutions and structures designed to assist emerging projects.
