How does entrepreneurship education promote creativity and innovation?

The aim of this paper is to synthesise the literature on how entrepreneurship education fosters creativity and innovation in entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship education (EE) has long been a priority for higher education institutions around the world, as it encourages creativity and innovation. However, literature yields conflicting results. Therefore, it is critical to comprehend how entrepreneurship education can be restructured to better foster creativity. For this bibliometric study, the Web of Science (WoS) database was used, and 374 journal articles were retrieved. VOSviewer, the Science of Science tool, and Gephi were used to analyse the results. The findings identified four major themes: EE and entrepreneurial intent, EE and innovation and creativity, entrepreneurial intent and innovation and creativity, and innovation and creativity and entrepreneurial success, none of which have matured and are regularly researched. The study contributes by identifying ways to improve the effectiveness of EE in improving creativity and innovation.
