ABSTRACT
The entrepreneurial university is an emergent phenomenon that is a result of the working out of an inner logic of academic development that previously expanded the academic enterprise from a conservator to an originator of knowledge. Peter Hall early on noted the need for Better links between educational-scientific policy and regional urban policy. MIT was founded during the mid-19th century as a university with a strategic purpose, the renewal of the Boston region, an early US high-tech conurbation. MIT has become the exemplar of an entrepreneurial university model that is designed to take the lead in creating a Technopole. The European Entrepreneurial University educates and graduates organizations as well as individuals. The Brazilian Entrepreneurial academic model can be seen as a synthesis of the US and European variants. Academic entrepreneurship also took a broader format to address broader social problems as well as economic issues.
