Abstract: Abstract In modern knowledge societies, universities have had to broaden their traditional teaching and research functions to include the third mission, thus strengthening their commitment to society and industry. Tackling this objective requires defining new educational models which are more focused on continuous learning, innovation, social engagement and productive creation. It is a responsibility of the universities to work with their students and staff to create an environment that supports social and economic development based on entrepreneurial and innovative foundations. The objective of this paper is to show how educational innovation in entrepreneurship and technology transfer consolidates the third mission and transforms higher education institutions into entrepreneurial universities. The results obtained suggest that public investment to promote entrepreneurship in universities is efficient. To improve these results it is necessary to determine standards in entrepreneurial education to introduce them into the academic curriculum and strengthen incubators focused on the creation of academic spin-offs from university R&D results.
