Abstract: The concept of entrepreneurial ecosystem is becoming a subject of interest for South African universities in the 21st century. Previously, the higher education system has not focused on creating a conducive environment for entrepreneurship within its system. The emphasis was more on teaching and learning followed by research, the concept of entrepreneurial university has taken centre stage. This study seeks to contribute to the literature on entrepreneurship and ecosystems in three ways. First, this paper will attempt to clarify what it means for universities to be entrepreneurial. Secondly, the study will assess the climate for entrepreneurship at universities in South Africa. Thirdly, it will determine whether there is a relationship between the university ecosystem and higher levels of entrepreneurial activity. The full study will follow a mixed method approach while this paper presents findings from the literature review.
