"Entrepreneurial Boiling Points" at universities – an effective mechanism to engage youth in technology entrepreneurship

The paper considers some problems of technological entrepreneurship in the context of a new reality that has arisen as a result of the hybrid war between the West and Russia, climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic. The Western sanctions significantly restrict Russia's access to components and materials, equipment and technologies, and researchers' interaction with foreign colleagues. Russia's response under the current conditions is transformation of the trajectory of technological development in accordance with the principle of self-sufficiency in key sectors of the economy. The purpose of this work is to study the mechanism of involving young people in technological entrepreneurship by converting university "Boiling points" into entrepreneurial ones using the example of EBP "Kaliningrad". The emerging new reality has exacerbated the problems of developing new equipment and technologies, small innovative enterprises, and engineering and technology development centers. A condition for successful technological development is competitiveness of new products in the foreign market, and the key factor here is the labor potential of market participants, human capital, highly educated people who have undergone professional training at technical universities. In order to do this, an entrepreneurial boiling point should become a connecting link in the public-private partnership, an effective mechanism for involving young people in technological entrepreneurship. In this context, the mission of EBP "Kaliningrad" is presented as a seaside educational, scientific and technological, innovative entrepreneurial center, a supplier of specialists - professionals, new technologies, developing viable marine and coastal ecosystems of the 21st century in accordance with the National Technology Initiative of Russia. The tasks and forms of youth involvement in the technological entrepreneurship of EBP "Kaliningrad" have been formulated taking into account the new reality.
