description Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate Algerian universities' success in becoming entrepreneurial, focusing on their effectiveness in encouraging students to establish startups as an initial step toward this transformation. Design/Method/Approach: The study employed a quantitative approach, distributing a questionnaire to 1034 students from various faculties and academic levels at Bouira University. The data were analyzed using SPSS.27. Findings: Results indicate moderate entrepreneurial readiness in students' intentions and the university's motivation, leading to moderate potential for success in launching startups in light of Decree 1275. Additionally, entrepreneurial readiness significantly enhances this potential, with the university's motivation having a greater impact on success than students' intention, although the latter is more crucial for fostering entrepreneurial readiness. Theoretical Implications: This study contributes to the literature on the relationship between the university’s role in stimulating and participating in the launch of startups. It considers this the first step towards transitioning to an entrepreneurial university, particularly as this concept is still new in the Algerian context. Practical Implications: The university must evaluate the students' situation and its own, considering each university's varying contexts and local actors, to determine the viability of executing Decree 1275. Originality/Value: Understanding the university’s conditions, along with exploring students’ entrepreneurial intentions, will help identify shortcomings that may limit the success of startup creation through the university, especially since Algeria is still new to adapting to startups. Research Limitations/Future Research: The limitations include those related to the sample size, which focused on some faculties of Bouira University students, due to time constraints, reluctance to participate. Future research should include all faculties, extend over years, and consider samples from all Algerian universities.
