Emerging technologies are reshaping entrepreneurship education, offering new ways to connect theory with practice and to prepare learners for a technology-driven economy. This chapter examines how tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and virtual and augmented reality can enhance experiential learning in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Drawing on global best practices and UAE policy frameworks, we highlight how universities and incubators are integrating these technologies into teaching, mentoring, and startup support. We identify barriers, including digital literacy gaps, cultural attitudes toward failure, and resource constraints, and propose actionable strategies to address them. These include curriculum reforms, faculty development, industry partnerships, and government support mechanisms. The chapter concludes with recommendations for building an inclusive, resilient ecosystem where technology-enabled entrepreneurship education equips students not only with business skills but also with adaptability, creativity, and ethical awareness.
