Abstract:
An entrepreneurial mindset is essential to a nation’s socio-economic growth, but
it has not been established in the proper way among the people of Bangladesh.
The aim of this study is to infer the role of university-based academic programs
in developing entrepreneurial ecosystem growth in this country. Daffodil
The international university has been taken as a case study for this research purpose.
The study shows that interdisciplinary academic programs that focus on practical
and experimental works, regardless of major in the higher educational institution,
have a great impact in creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem. It also gives us a
broad view that university plays as a driving force in changing the
entrepreneurship culture. Various external factors hold a major position in
successful startup ventures in the university environment. A model framework
has been designed to show the role of a university to promote and explore the
concept of the entrepreneurial ecosystem at the inter level.
