Measuring the Enablers of University-based Techno-Entrepreneurship Education to Achieve Sustainable Business: A New-Age Analytical Approach

Both academics and professionals are becoming increasingly curious about how to measure the impact of Techno-entrepreneurship programs in higher education. This research aimed to provide light on how collegiate Techno-entrepreneurship programs affect students' propensity to go into business by integrating passion and competency-based approaches. A structured questionnaire using a Likert scale and a purposive sample technique was used to gather and analyze the data from 140 technical and non-technical students. The study employed Smart-PLS to establish a model using entrepreneurial intentions, entrepreneurial attributes, entrepreneurial passion, and Techno-entrepreneurship education, which leads to sustainable business. The study's results show that Techno-entrepreneurship education mediates in achieving sustainable business. The originality of this study resides in its investigation of the model that explains the nexus of chosen variables based on previous studies and expanded areas to achieve sustainable business. The research findings are expected to influence how Techno-entrepreneurship is taught by nurturing sustainable development.
