The incubation concept is an effective way to link technology, capital and know-how to leverage entrepreneurial talent and accelerate the development of new startups. Incubators are typically established through public-private collaborations between universities, industry and all levels of government because of the importance of innovative small businesses in creating jobs and economic growth. In Morocco, incubation was introduced in universities, stimulated by the Law 01/00 on the organization of higher education. This law has revolutionized the ways in which higher education and research operate. It has opened up new perspectives for universities by enabling them to participate in the creation of wealth and contribute directly to regional and national dynamism. In this work, we will discuss the value chain of academic incubation in Morocco by focusing on the insufficiencies and inadequacies of the process of creating innovative business in Morocco.
Entrepreneurial orientation of students in Morocco is a potential driver of economic growth, job creation and development of self-employment. The proposed paper aims to present in the first part the evolvement over time of the definition of the entrepreneur, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial orientation. In the second part, the analysis is oriented towards the objectives of ten academic programs in entrepreneurship that have been implemented in Moroccan public universities from the 2000s and as part of international cooperation.
In the third part, the paper aims to identify the various shortcomings of these programs and suggests proposals for the improvement of future programs and the contribution to students’ entrepreneurial behavior or entrepreneurial.
