This study aims to examine support structures for entrepreneurship set up by university, what they have achieved and the obstacles encountered in carrying out their missions. These structures are: incubators, entrepreneurship centers and CATIs. We use an exploratory qualitative method; we collected data from the support structures through a survey sent to their directors; we received 39 responses from 79 questionnaires that were mailed, and 6 directors were interviewed. The study concludes that the performance of the structures in terms of projects supported or businesses created remains modest. Managers face number of difficulties: the absence of status for some structures, lack of autonomy and resources, and the weakness of networking. There is also the issue of recognition; managers' efforts are not rewarded. And, according to managers, entrepreneurial culture remains weak, which hinders the promotion of an entrepreneurial mindset.
