The requirement to transform higher education institutions (HEIs) to become inclusive entrepreneurial entities is underpinned by policy and by changes over past decades on the role and linkages of universities to their environment. This paper aims to understand how HEIs are transforming as inclusive entrepreneurial entities using the European University of Technology (EUt+) as a case in practice. The study draws on a conceptual framework developed by O’Brien, Cooney and Blenker (2019) for expanding university entrepreneurial ecosystems to under-represented communities. The framework is used to identify points of decision and action as well as to identify tools and instruments that can capture data as EUt+ progresses. The contribution of this paper provides firstly, a preliminary insight into how EUt+ as a European University Alliance is progressing as an inclusive entrepreneurial HEI and secondly, progresses the O’Brien, Cooney and Blenker (2019) framework from conceptual to practice, in particular on monitoring and evaluation of the inclusive entrepreneurial HEI.
