Abstract
Ten higher education institutions [HEI] in Kuwait and around eighty in Serbia provide curriculums that combine entrepreneurial and IT courses. Their students graduate and enter the labor market in possession of some level of digital entrepreneurial competences [DEC]. The problem lies in the fact that there are no available tools and methodologies that would enable the assessment of the exact levels of DEC the students acquire during their formal education. This problem goes far beyond Kuwait and Serbia and is applicable to any other country in the world. This paper provides an overview of the research design which was applied on a sample of university students in Kuwait and Serbia to measure the levels of their digital entrepreneurial competences. The focus of the research was on the identification of opportunities as the first competence area of EmDigital framework for digital entrepreneurial competences.
