Abstract

The aim of the article is to identify the main determinants of entrepreneurial intentions of technical university students at Warsaw University of Technology. The perspective of a leading technical university is crucial in view of the possibility to set up innovative businesses in the STEM sector. The research results were obtained from a quantitative survey conducted in 2018 among WUT students (N = 476). As a result, the hypotheses regarding the impact of 1) entrepreneurship classes, 2) professional experience, 3) views on the market, 4) stage of education, and 5) gender were verified. Therefore, the research outcomes provide argumentation for effective adjustment of the university’s activities supporting the creation of innovative enterprises and entrepreneurial education.
