Abstract

Activating students to think and act in entrepreneurial terms during their studies remains a big challenge, especially in developing countries, where curriculum is still evolving slowly, and students are often kept as passive recipients of formal knowledge. Students rarely experience other activities that may stimulate them to think in entrepreneurial terms, staying unprepared for commercial career and entrepreneurial endeavors.
Aiming to explore students’ potentials for the entrepreneurial and innovative activities, a survey was conducted in three Western Balkan Countries, with sample of over 1700 students reached. The results show significant entrepreneurial potential that still lays untapped, which advocates for some sort of stimulation from a relevant context such as university.
A network of co-creative centers (iDEA labs) in WBC countries is proposed in this chapter, which aims to generate greater orientation of young people towards self-employment and entrepreneurship by creating a system of continuous support, training, and mentoring for (potential) young entrepreneurs.
