- The impact of entrepreneurship education on aspiring founders : challenging the status quoPublication . Schmidtsdorf, Marie; Salvado, João CotterEntrepreneurship is a crucial driver of economic development and growth, digital innovation, and new opportunities worldwide. The founders of tomorrow are more global, more connected, and more digital than ever before. With this rise of a new generation, traditional approaches in the higher education sector need to be adapted. The transition to an entrepreneurial future requires academic institutions to play their full role in creating and developing entrepreneurial intentions and give the student access to support on their challenging journey to an own business. This paper supports a better understanding of the effect of entrepreneurship education and the needs of student founders along their entrepreneurial journey, informing the proactive development of more personalized, impactful, and digital solutions in the future. First, a benchmarking analysis of public and private German universities supports understanding the entrepreneurship education landscape at academic institutions. Furthermore, this research collected valuable insights about the effect of entrepreneurship education through qualitative interviews with student founders and educational institutions. This paper aims to bridge a lack of empirical inquiry into student founders' intentions, challenges, and solutions and more strategic integration of entrepreneurship education at academic institutions. The insights that emerge present to inform the development of more personalized and digital solutions enable student founders to turn entrepreneurial intention into actions.
