Abstract

Internationalization is considered to be a major axis of development for universities on several scales, including the support of innovation and entrepreneurship of the youth bearing ideas in different fields of specialization. Therefore, the purpose of our paper is to highlight the effect of the universities internationalization on innovation and entrepreneurship, through a case study of an Erasmus + Capacity Building in Higher Education - CBHE project, entitled AGRIENGAGE, which brings together eleven (11) African and European partners, including the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) and the Hassan II Agronomic and Veterinary Institute (IAV) as Moroccan partners. Our article will therefore focus on the alliance between these two Moroccan partners, which led to the creation, in 2022, of an incubator for innovative startups in the agricultural sector, called Agri-food Tech Incubator. This paper presents the results of a qualitative study within the Agriengage Erasmus + project, that shows the effect of internationalization through international projects for promoting innovation in HEIs. Our article is mainly aimed at raising awareness among Moroccan university managers about capitalizing on internationalization, through participation in projects in response to funding programs (European Union funding, AUF and other international organizations), as a key asset for strengthening innovation and entrepreneurship among students.

Research Contribution: Best practice of the AgriEngage Erasmus + project outputs in terms of innovation and entrepreneurship.
