Abstract

This study examines how entrepreneurship programs are developed and how successful they are in higher education, with an emphasis on the function of institutional support. Incubator platforms, supportive infrastructure, and strategic initiatives are examined in relation to the formation and viability of student-led businesses. The study examines the relationship between academic-industry partnerships, institutional frameworks, and the larger entrepreneurial ecosystem using real-world program experiences. The study also looks at how these programs support national strategies like Malaysia’s Dasar Keusahawanan Negara 2030 (DKN 2030) and help achieve important Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). The findings highlight the potential of higher education institutions to drive innovation, create decent employment opportunities, and promote inclusive economic development through targeted entrepreneurial programmes. This study offers practical recommendations for educators, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working to enhance the effectiveness of university-based entrepreneurship in Malaysia and beyond.
