The business world in the face of a very strict era of globalization and competition, requires collaboration and harmonization between parties such as educational institutions, governments, communities, and industries. How the relevance of roles and cooperation between these parties can support and create an ongoing entrepreneurial ecosystem. Learning from experience, entrepreneurship can be taught by building a multidisciplinary curriculum. In this case, the entrepreneurial program must be distinguished from other programs, namely the learning method must involve all parties involved and supported by business incubation programs through mentoring and business consulting. In Indonesia, there are around 45-50 business incubators in college and only half of it is active (Munthe, 2012). At present, business incubators must still be increased to develop entrepreneurship in Indonesia. The role of business incubation can significantly help improve the quality of business products and new entrepreneurial skills management. Besides that, government policies must also focus on the ease of doing business in Indonesia. Business trust in the performance of the government as a policy maker must always be maintained, for example in the case of overcoming the most troubled factors in doing business; Make priority programs related to reducing corruption, bureaucracy, and improving the quality of infrastructure. ITB as one of the educational institutions in Indonesia has the following vision: "Being prominent, dignified, independent, and universities are respected globally and guiding changes to the progress of Indonesian and world prosperity". The ITB Chancellor has stated that ITB should not only pursue to become a world-class research university, but also as Entrepreneurial University. While the ITB mission is "to make, share and apply science, technology, art and humanity and to produce leading human capital for the progress of Indonesia and the world". SBM is one of the schools in ITB, participating actively to be able to support the realization of the ITB's vision and mission.
