ABSTRACT

In the context of the rapid development of the digital economy, this paper meticulously constructs an innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystem for applied undergraduate universities in China, based on the innovation ecosystem theory framework. This system comprehensively and systematically covers essential components such as ecological entities, key elements, organizational structure, internal connections, and core functions. The primary objective is to drive profound innovation in teaching models by establishing a multi-dimensional goal system, implementing cross-disciplinary talent cultivation strategies, designing an integrated curriculum system, and utilizing a data-driven, smart technology-integrated teaching practice platform. Based on this framework, the paper further proposes practical pathways for the innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystem of applied undergraduate universities in China under the digital economy background. It aims to establish a collaborative operation mechanism among various elements, stimulate the innovation vitality of all entities, optimize the supporting structure of the innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystem, and thus help applied undergraduate universities overcome development bottlenecks and move towards a broader stage of development.
