Abstract
The external context plays a vital role for the promotion of entrepreneurship especially in entrepreneurial universities. The study therefore deploys a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative) approach to understand the role that innovation and entrepreneurship infrastructure plays in facilitating the development and commercialization of research outputs from the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) Faculties in a university in Nigeria. Questionnaire was administered on sixty lecturers/researchers across these six faculties (Science, Engineering, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Pharmacy and Agriculture) which had 85% response rate. Eleven follow-up interviews were carried out in four Faculties. While field observation was carried out in four research and innovation facilities (the university’s central science laboratory, central technical workshop and the intellectual property & technology transfer office). An Incubation Centre located outside but near the university was also visited. Based on the information collected, the study provided strategic implications for policymaking, practice and theory.
