Abstract: In order to solve the problems of resource utilisation rate, achievement conversion rate, and low student satisfaction in traditional methods, a construction method of innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystem in universities based on social network analysis is proposed. Analyse the concept of the innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystem in universities, determine the relationship between the constituent elements, and use social network analysis methods to identify the bottlenecks and shortcomings of the innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystem in universities. Starting from establishing innovative educational models, strengthening interdisciplinary integration, establishing innovation and entrepreneurship practice platforms, and strengthening industry and enterprise cooperation, will complete the construction of the innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystem in universities. The test results of the example application show that the average resource utilisation rate of the proposed method is 83.27%, the average achievement conversion rate is 86.55%, and student satisfaction varies between 91.2 and 93.6%.
