Entrepreneurship has captured the attention of both scholars and policy makers during the last decades. The main reason of this concern is the growing needs for entrepreneurs who accelerate economic development through generating new ideas and converting them into profitable ventures. Entrepreneurial activities are not only the incubators of technological innovation but also provide employment opportunity and increase competitiveness. Fostering entrepreneurship need a two-fold policy that should focus on both the current situation and future prospect of entrepreneurship. It is important to map out future context of entrepreneurship. The purpose of this paper is to fill this void by analyzing the impact of some contextual factors on entrepreneurial intention of university students.
