Mission
To embed entrepreneurial thinking and action across all disciplines at the Arab Open University – Lebanon, equipping learners and communities with the skills, resources, and mindset to launch impactful ventures and contribute to sustainable development.
Vision
The Entrepreneurship Center at the Arab Open University – Lebanon (AOU) envisions its strategic trajectory as an emerging entrepreneurial education ecosystem, building on Shay and Brush's global framework of Entrepreneurial Thought & Action® (ET&A). This model positions entrepreneurship not merely as business formation, but as a transformative force that connects education, action, and community ecosystems to empower individuals, institutions, and economies.
As such, the entrepreneurship center aims to cultivate a dynamic, opportunity-driven environment where students, faculty, and community members engage in entrepreneurial learning as a mindset, practice, and vehicle for societal impact. This approach aligns closely with the university's mission to foster innovation, equity, and community advancement across Lebanon and the Arab region.
