Objective: The main objective of the current study is to examine the technopreneur intention and strategy for exploring business opportunities among vocational high school students in Indonesia. The study has examined the direct impact of computer ability, internet ability and individual entrepreneurial intention on the technopreneurial intention. Moreover, the study has also examined the mediating role of technopreneurial self-efficacy in the relationship between computer ability, internet ability, individual entrepreneurial intention and the technopreneurial intention among vocational high school students in Indonesia. Methodology: The study has employed the quantitative method and random sampling was utilized in order to collect exhaustive and objective data. Among the total of 450 individuals who were invited to participate in the survey, 324 completed it successfully, for a response rate of 72%. The high rate of participant response strengthens the validity of the study’s findings and mitigates the possibility of non-response bias. Results: This finding suggests that individuals who are more familiar with the Internet tend to have a greater confidence in their technological entrepreneurial abilities. It is important to note, however, that while familiarity with the Internet may contribute to the development of entrepreneurial skills, it does not necessarily lead to an entrepreneurial mindset. It was determined that there is a positive correlation between the increase in Technopreneurial self-efficacy and the increase in Technopreneurial Intention. Implications: Within the domains of education and entrepreneurship, these findings provide significant insights that Indonesian policymakers should take into account. It is evident that the provision of computer and internet literacy alone is inadequate in fostering student technopreneurship. © 2023, Artseduca. All rights reserved.
