AB Innovation models are key to fostering technology-focused entrepreneurship in higher education institutions (HEIs). These models create dynamic environments that encourage collaboration,creativity, and problem-solving skills among students and faculty. HEIs face several challenges infostering entrepreneurship, including allocating sufficient financial and human resources, integratingentrepreneurship education across disciplines, and managing intellectual property. Overcoming thesechallenges requires HEIs to cultivate an entrepreneurial culture and establish strong partnerships withindustry stakeholders. To achieve these goals, HEIs must adopt successful innovation models provento work. This article presents an international case study highlighting such models and the factorscontributing to their success. This study explores the implementation and impact of innovationmodels, specifically IDEATION and DEETECHTIVE, within HEIs to foster technology-focused entrepreneurship. By implementing numerous actions focusing on online education integration and theQuintuple Helix Innovation Model, these models support shifting engineering students’ mindsets toward entrepreneurship. This research highlights the importance of academia–industry collaboration,international partnerships, and the integration of entrepreneurship education in technology-focuseddisciplines. This study presents two models. The first, IDEATION, focuses on open innovation andsharing economy aspects. This model underwent rigorous testing and refinement, evolving intothe second model, DEETECHTIVE, which is more comprehensive and deep tech-focused. Thesemodels have been validated as effective frameworks for fostering entrepreneurship and innovationwithin HEIs. This study’s findings underscore the potential of these models to enhance innovationcapacity, foster an entrepreneurial culture, and create ecosystems rich in creativity and advancement. Practical implications include the establishment of open innovation-oriented structures and mechanisms, the development of specialized curriculum components, and the creation of enhancedcollaboration platforms.
