Higher education, innovation and entrepreneurship: a combined Italy-Colombia Master’s degree

University and economic growth are closely related: the university impacts on the development of entrepreneurship through the implementation of its third mission. A new and improved education system aiming to foster entrepreneurship thus becomes a key factor in the revitalization process. In this paper we will stress the importance of collaboration between universities in different countries by means of common educational programs characterised by a high level of interdisciplinarity and capable of meeting the needs of a dynamic and digital labour market. We will therefore explore the relationship between academic entrepreneurship, economic growth and innovation by presenting the case of the Master’s degree in Entrepreneurial Innovation Management created through the joint collaboration of the University of Salerno (Italy) and the Universidad Católica de Pereira (Colombia).
