This article outlines and evaluates the current implementation of this concept at the universities of technology (TU) in Austria. First, to evaluate the status quo, a review of existing programs and initiatives was undertaken at the three universities comprising the "TU Austria": TU Graz, TU Wien (Vienna), and MU Leoben. Second, a questionnaire was designed on the basis of the HEInnovate framework and sent to representatives of the three universities and resulted in responses from TU Graz and TU Wien. The results underscore that the model of the entrepreneurial university represents the next step of development in higher education. Moreover, it demonstrates that there is still room for improvement at the TU Austria, especially in terms of fostering an entrepreneurial spirit among students.10aentrepreneurial spirit10aentrepreneurial university10aentrepreneurship10aHEInnovate framework10atriple helix10aTU Austria10aTU Graz10aTU Wien1 aSperrer, Martin1 aMüller, Christiana1 aSoos, Julia  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/1026
