Entrepreneurship is often pictured as launching a new business to make a profit. Entrepreneurs have the potential to become thought leaders in their respective fields, which can be a natural outcome. Nowadays, more self-motivated people want to shape their future and become independent professionally. Entrepreneurship programs in higher education can improve people’s lives and create high job satisfaction. Increased wages and a decline in unemployment are linked to greater success levels in entrepreneurship education. To produce more young entrepreneurs in the future, numerous universities worldwide are currently enhancing their entrepreneurship education curricula. This type of educational program is constantly being examined to 
ensure its structure meets the outside world's demands. Though entrepreneurship programs are incorporated in most reputed universities, such programs are still not prominent in maritime education. The present study uses a survey-based technique to determine the necessity of entrepreneurship programs in maritime education in Bangladesh. The findings suggest that maritime professionals and students feel that entrepreneurship programs should be introduced in maritime education in Bangladesh to shape the future of the maritime industry.
