**6. Conclusions**

Since entrepreneurship is the basis that nurtures the growth of the production network, the interest in the dynamics that surround it keep increasing. Several studies reported entrepreneurial intention as an indicator of latent entrepreneurship. This is because, prior to undertaking a business project, individuals present the intention to do so. In this study, the entrepreneurial intention of university students was studied from a configurational approach thanks to the use of the fsQCA. This allowed the study of the combined effect of several internal variables, some affected by the environment, to explain high levels of entrepreneurial intention.

This study reaffirmed the negative effects that corruption has on entrepreneurship and highlights the importance of implementing policies aimed at eradicating it from institutions. In the same way, it indicates how, for a specific profile of students, corruption can be seen as an opportunity to accelerate processes related to entrepreneurship. However, the results also reflect that, in general, Mexican students do not tolerate corruption. In the same way, the analysis of the results showed the importance of implementing education programs for entrepreneurship in higher education, and more specifically in STEM areas. Finally, the need to implement programs to facilitate access to financial resources for both LHI students and female students was highlighted. In the latter case, it is necessary to set up specific programs dedicated to promoting female entrepreneurship.

The results and recommendations offered can serve as inputs for policymakers in countries with similar characteristics to Mexico, with the countries of the Latin American and Caribbean regions being good examples. These recommendations can favor the dynamics of the productive network and have positive effects on regional development. The design of public policies must focus on corruption control and focus especially on the university context when working against corruption normalization. The evidence found suggested a deep impact on the generation of business opportunities. In addition, the promotion of female entrepreneurship must be highlighted among the priorities of the policymakers. Both male and female students must have access to specific resources to avoid the perverse dynamics of brain drain. Similarly, university students from lower-income households must find adequate support in the federal and state public administrations for the development of early vocations that modernize the production network and promote innovation and long-term economic growth in the region. This article provides important information to guide the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

This research had some limitations. On the one hand, the sample studied came from a single university, which offers the possibility for future studies to delve into these results by studying samples obtained from other universities. On the other hand, the limitations of the methodology used did not allow us to combine too many variables. Future works should address these results by combining other methodologies that allow delving into these and other variables.
