Abstract:

The role of the University in the promotion of entrepreneurship is critical. At the same time, the entrepreneurial support network that consists of business assistance centers, incubators and accelerators whether with public or private capital, promote the creation of companies through intensive support programs of training and assessment.

We analyze how the University-Business entrepreneurial support network can be implemented and promoted as a teaching innovation factor. This paper analyzes the role of business entrepreneurial ecosystem in training and how the relationship with business support network managed by Universities is as a particular case.

Surveys conducted informally in the classrooms lead to the conclusion that many students are unaware of the existence of these business support network and the assistance they can provide in the analysis of the business idea and its viability as well as the means that can be provided.

From the teaching perspective, visits to business networks close to the University can be arranged, in this way students can learn about the functions and services they offer in the facilities of this centers and thus encourage entrepreneurship as a professional future.
