Preparing college graduates for entrepreneurship has become a key strategic goal in the knowledge-based economy to ensure the sustainable growth of successful Start-Ups and SMEs that can keep pace with the ever-increasing pace and pressure of innovation. Because ideas are the origin of every successful innovation, students must be trained in systematically opening their mindset to generate and structure ideas with high innovation potential. They must also learn to apply it in such a way that the results make it easier for them to enter into entrepreneurial activities. Support from universities through education and training contributes to creating an entrepreneurial university ecosystem. It is based on the idea that a well-established entrepreneurial university ecosystem automatically leads to the emergence of a business ecosystem that benefits its surroundings. This paper confirms empirically that entrepreneurship education and training is a key factor in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in strengthening knowledge transfer that can relate to other businesses outside the ecosystem as well as expanding the emerging ecosystem approach to the field of entrepreneurship.
