Abstract: Our paper contributes to the nascent field of technological entrepreneurial intent by proposing a model linking students’ entrepreneurial intent to digitalization of the economy, and providing evidence based on a small transition economy: Kosovo. Our sample is composed of 310 students from two universities in Kosovo (University of Pristina and University of Applied Sciences in Ferizaj). These two universities account for around 60% of student enrolment in Kosovo. We use a modified version of the Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire (EIQ) scale developed by Liñán and Chen (2009) which considers the extent of digitalization of the economy. The findings reveal that personal attitude and behavioral content are the main determinants of entrepreneurial intention; our structural model shows that they explain 72.7% of the total variance.
