Abstract

Abstract: How to implement entrepreneurial support strategy is a systematic project for a university. It requires the cooperation and support of different departments within the university as well as the complementary and combined efforts of the university and the external resources. Through cooperation, Columbia University adopts an all-encompassing entrepreneurial support strategy, focusing on the cultivation of entrepreneurial human capital and the incubation guarantee in the process of entrepreneurship. Besides, the university actively integrates into the New York City entrepreneurial ecosystem. To cultivate entrepreneurial human capital, Columbia seeks to raise the entrepreneurial awareness of the students and faculty and improve their entrepreneurial ability. And the incubation guarantee focuses on the support of various elements of the entrepreneurial process. All these form the university entrepreneurial support system.

Key words: Columbia University, entrepreneurial support system, entrepreneurial human capital cultivation, entrepreneurial incubation guarantee
