Abstract

Conclusion.Entrepreneurial universities require a multifaceted approach to financial sustainability, utilizing diverse funding models and adapting to the evolving higher education landscape. This review emphasizes the importance of financial innovation, strategic partnerships, and supportive institutional policies to drive entrepreneurial activities and contribute to economic growth. Further research should focus on the long-term impact of these financing strategies and explore the role of emerging technologies in fundraising and financial management.
