This article examines the role of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, focusing on their impact on regional development. The quantitative research was conducted in the western region of Santa Catarina, Brazil, using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Data collected from 468 respondents were analyzed using statistical tools to identify stakeholders' perceptions of HEI innovation and entrepreneurship activities and their relevance for regional growth. The findings demonstrate that HEIs play a central role in knowledge transfer, the creation of new businesses, and the development of partnerships with industry and government. The study suggests that HEIs can further enhance their impact through collaborative initiatives and increased engagement with regional innovation ecosystems. Limitations and future research directions are discussed at the end.
