Abstract
Higher education institutions must be an integral part of the ecosystem and work closely with
all stakeholders to promote entrepreneurship. To create entrepreneurial endeavors that are
mutually beneficial and self-sustaining, these systems necessitate a lot of connections among
organizations, individuals, and operations. The university setting might be the best place to
start to identify potential entrepreneurs who play crucial parts in establishing and maintaining
strong entrepreneurship cultures within countries. One of the first stages in Kenya's new
strategy for entrepreneurship growth was the inclusion of entrepreneurship instruction in all
technical teacher education institutions in the country. Hence the Ministry of Renew search,
Technical Training, and Technology implemented a new policy mandating all technical
education participants to accomplish a course in entrepreneurship education. Despite the
initiatives, the growth of the Higher Education Entrepreneurship Ecosystem has remained
sluggish in the county. But with digital transformation in the country, it was expected this was
to act as the key driver in Entrepreneurship Ecosystem in Higher Education. The paper aimed
at examining how digital transformation is a key driver in Entrepreneurship Ecosystem in
Higher Education in Kenya. The study was anchored on the Schumpeter theory of innovation,
the theory of change, and the Institutional Theory. The paper used a desk review in-depth
desktop review. The findings imply that we are trying to establish how digital transformation
triggers the growth of entrepreneurship in higher education.
