Abstract
The research paper presents a proposed model for establishing a center for entrepreneurship and innovation at the Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan. The center aims to enhance teamwork, stimulate and adopt creative ideas among students, and establish an environment where they may discuss and expand on these ideas. The idea of this center addresses the challenges facing similar centers, such as the high cost and long time to build. The purpose of establishing this center revolves around improving several challenges that similar centers may face. The proposed model of the center is characterized by its modern, low-cost, and flexible design. We used a mixed-methods research design to analyse case studies of successful centers worldwide and then conducted interviews with the target group. The results indicate that the proposed model will enhance students' capabilities and stimulate the development of their creative ideas. This study presents a model that can be developed and improved at the lowest cost and least time-wasting and can be implemented in various contexts. The proposed center has the potential to positively impact the amount of scientific research, thus improving the university's global ratings.
