This paper examines the potential role of the Entrepreneurial Universities in the national economic growth. The entrepreneurial universities integrate economic development as a function of teaching and research further. By focusing their research on the economic needs of the society, the results can be immediately exploited in the form of products and services. By including entrepreneurship guidance in their program, the research can be transformed into new enterprises such as start-ups and spin-offs, thus creating new jobs.
