Abstract

Technological education has become a cornerstone for fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in modern economies. This paper examines the transformative role of technological education in stimulating innovation and entrepreneurship through a case study of the New Cairo Technological University (NCTU). The study explores NCTU's innovative programs, industry partnerships, and entrepreneurship initiatives, highlighting their impact on students and local communities. By integrating hands-on learning, cutting-edge research, and real-world problem-solving, NCTU empowers students to become future innovators and entrepreneurs. This research underscores the need for systemic transformations in education to equip students with the skills required to thrive in dynamic, technology-driven markets, ultimately driving economic growth and societal progress.
