Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of entrepreneurship education and digital entrepreneurship on students' entrepreneurial intentions, with innovation capability serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was used through an online survey of Indonesian university students who had taken entrepreneurship courses or training. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that entrepreneurship education has a significant impact on innovation capability, which in turn positively influences entrepreneurial intention. However, digital entrepreneurship does not significantly affect innovation capability. Innovation capability mediates the causal relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention, but not the causal relationship between digital entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of innovation capability as a mediator and the contextual adaptation to the Indonesian students. The findings underscore the significance of innovation-driven entrepreneurship education and digital literacy in fostering adaptive and competitive young entrepreneurs.
