The core aim of the Center for Entrepreneurship Education is to plant and nurture the entrepreneurial mindset in the KFUPM students. This is achieved through a series of courses and competitions. The highly interactive and experiential learning atmosphere imparts a real world hands-on learning experience for the students.

At KFUPM, the Business Incubator Center offers a set of supporting programs to university entrepreneurs that complement the other two centers of the entrepreneurship institute and facilitates in launching a startup. This is done through an array of business support resources and services, developed and orchestrated by the incubator management and offered both in the incubator and through its network of contacts.

Research is the driving arm of any knowledge-based environment. The Center for Entrepreneurship Studies plays this important role by conducting research studies to assist, advance and improve the entrepreneurship institute’s programs. It also aims to build case studies of the local entrepreneurs, which would not only highlight this untapped domain but also serve as an important teaching tool for the faculty at the entrepreneurship institute.​
