This study analyzes entrepreneurial education practices identified in Portuguese higher education institutions, seeking to understand how these experiences can contribute to strengthening entrepreneurial training in Brazilian technological higher education. The research adopts a qualitative approach, exploratory and descriptive in nature, with elements of participatory research, and is based on an academic immersion carried out in Portugal, involving participant observation, technical visits, dialogue interviews, institutional interactions, and document analysis. The records produced during the experience were subsequently revisited and organized into six analytical dimensions: experiential learning; curricular integration and interdisciplinarity; student protagonism; teaching performance; articulation with the entrepreneurial ecosystem; and internationalization and network formation. The results show that the observed practices go beyond the isolated offering of content on entrepreneurship and are characterized by the articulation between practical experiences, curriculum, student participation, teaching performance, and interaction with innovation environments. The main contribution of this study lies in identifying a logic for integrating entrepreneurial experiences, suggesting that strengthening entrepreneurial education depends less on the quantity of initiatives offered and more on the institutional capacity to connect them throughout the student's educational trajectory. It concludes that international experiences can constitute important references for the Brazilian context, provided they are critically analyzed and adapted to the institutional, cultural, and educational particularities of technological higher education.
