This case study provides an update on the approach to entrepreneurship and innovation taken by the Kaunas University of Technology (KTU)1, representing the status at the end of 2024. The original case study, was written in 2015. Since then, KTU has developed its entrepreneurial profile and approach further. It developed its curricular teaching of entrepreneurship, extra-curricular activities, research, provision of services related to support of entrepreneurship, and relevant external relationships.
As regards entrepreneurship education, KTU established study programmes related to entrepreneurship, added a course for students from all faculties, and operated various Erasmus+ projects related to entrepreneurship. Moreover, links with international experts and institutions to develop entrepreneurship education are still strong. In particular, links with the European Institute of Technology have become deeper, and KTU has joined two European university alliances. However, international links at the end of 2024 are relatively less important than in 2015, while local competencies have become stronger and cooperation with local businesses have become wider and more intense. KTU established an additional unit for partnership management.
