AB  - In the contemporary landscape, nurturing genomic entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions poses a substantial challenge for healthcare organizations. The present paper examines the factors affecting attitudes towards genomic technology and entrepreneurial intentions among Egyptian healthcare professionals. The study applied a quantitative approach and collected cross-sectional data from 276 health professionals using convenience sampling. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS 4, the findings suggest a positive significant effect of innovation and genomic knowledge on attitudes towards genetic technology. On the other hand, risk perception negatively predicts attitudes towards genetic technology. Finally, the path analysis also confirmed a positive significant effect of attitudes towards genetic technology on entrepreneurial intention. The study's findings would help develop policies regarding genomic innovation among healthcare professionals. Unraveling the dynamics at the genomics-entrepreneurship intersection empowers healthcare professionals to seize genomic technology opportunities, advancing the healthcare sector.
