The literature on entrepreneurship considers entrepreneurial intention as the variable that best explains entrepreneurial action (Krueger 2020). The existence and intensity of this entrepreneurial intention depend on two main determinants: individual determinants related to the entrepreneur and contextual determinants. Therefore, the objective of this article is to highlight these determinants among Malagasy student entrepreneurs. The results obtained make it possible to identify the individual and contextual determinants that influenced them and their impact on entrepreneurial desire, the perceived feasibility of entrepreneurial projects, and students’ propensity to take action. Highlighting these determinants allows for a discussion on the role of academic and extracurricular measures in fostering entrepreneurship.
