Abstract
This paper examines issues of developing an entrepreneurial ecosystem at higher
education institutions in the context of Kazakhstan. Authors consider the entrepreneurial
university as a system that has its own infrastructure and is an integral part of the
ecosystem as a whole. State and businesses are active participants of entrepreneurial
ecosystem’s formation process at university. Despite the fact that many studies (Röpke,
1998; Clark, 1998; Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff, 2008) focus on the problems of formation and
development of entrepreneurial ecosystem and its infrastructure, there is no universally
recognized definition of the term “entrepreneurial ecosystem”. In Kazakhstan, the formation
of entrepreneurial ecosystem is at its early stage. This paper discusses problems related to
the underdeveloped entrepreneurial ecosystem and defines main reasons that hamper the
development of entrepreneurial universities as part of the ecosystem.
