Abstract

The relationship between entrepreneurship, transfer and technological innovation has not been revealed in the literature from 2020 to 2023. Therefore, the objective of the study was to establish the entrepreneurship system that predicts transfer and innovation in a public university. An exploratory, cross-sectional and correlational work was carried out with a sample of 100 professional practitioners and social workers from a public university in central Mexico and in a strategic alliance with local micro-enterprises. The results show that technological innovation is a function of financial investment and technology transfer is predicted by sustainable responsibility. In relation to the literature that reports 10 dimensions of entrepreneurship, it’s recommended to extend the study to a university corporate environment.
