Keywords:
technological, entrepreneurship, project, valueAbstract
Abstract - This article has several objectives. First, this research wishes to state the existing knowledge about the technological entrepreneurship project concept. Secondly, the success indicators of this type of project and their factors determining this success have been identified. A systematic review of the literature has identified 29 articles on this subject. Although there are several definitions of the technological entrepreneurship concept, no clear definition of the technological entrepreneurship project concept was found. Following the identification of the indicators measuring the success of a technological entrepreneurship project, this research identified several success factors: importance of a market study, considering user’s needs, communication with the user, technical feasibility, culture and managerial skills, process associated with the technological entrepreneurship project, and financial analysis.
