A set of variables affects the building of a university ecosystem fostering an entrepreneurial culture among students. The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of students, faculty members and directors of Higher Education Centers in the region of Coquimbo, Chile with respect to entrepreneurship, taking into account diverse variables in order to establish significant differences in these perceptions that could affect institutional policies or actions, which may ultimately have an impact in regional development. The descriptive study performed on a sample of twelve Higher Education institutions revealed significant differences between the perceptions of academics and students on the influence of the following variables: infrastructure; networking; institutional experience; skills; risk-taking. Likewise, the directors showed significant differences in their appreciations of the relative importance of the variables: teaching strategies; academic skills; government programs and strategies covering students and/or academics.

Palabras clave : entrepreneurship; higher education; business administration education; business skills; perception tests.
