This study aims to explore the influence of educational technologies on entrepreneurial education, focusing on how these technologies facilitate learning, innovation, and the development of entrepreneurial skills. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, this study gathered data exclusively through semi-structured interviews. Fifteen participants, including experts, educators, and entrepreneurs in the field of educational technology, were selected through purposive sampling to ensure a wide range of experiences and perspectives were represented. The analysis identified four main themes: the impacts of educational technologies on entrepreneurship, challenges facing educational entrepreneurs, new opportunities in entrepreneurial education, and the role of technological infrastructure in the development of entrepreneurial education. Each main theme consisted of various sub-themes and concepts that highlighted the multifaceted influence of educational technologies on entrepreneurial education. Educational technologies play a crucial role in enhancing entrepreneurial education by providing new learning opportunities, facilitating access to resources, and fostering the development of essential entrepreneurial skills. Despite facing challenges such as financial constraints and resistance to change, the integration of technological innovations offers significant potential for the future of entrepreneurial education.
