Entrepreneurial ventures in the modern economy often require a blend of technical proficiency and innovative thinking. This theoretical paper explores the intersection of mathematical expertise and entrepreneurial endeavors, specifically focusing on how mathematics teachers can be empowered for entrepreneurial ventures. The concept of entrepreneurship and its importance in the modern economy is addressed. Further, the roles of mathematics in entrepreneurship ventures and the importance of entrepreneurial skills in teacher education programme and other professional domains were highlighted. The challenges faced by mathematics teachers in transiting from mathematics to entrepreneurship were discussed. The paper also presents how to leverage mathematical expertise to enhance entrepreneurial ventures, as well as case studies of successful intersections of the mathematical knowledge of mathematics teachers and entrepreneurship. The implications of empowering mathematics teachers for entrepreneurial ventures in the education industry were discussed. The paper concludes that integrating entrepreneurship with mathematics education would provide significant benefits, such as innovative reasoning, improved teaching methodologies, and economic growth among others. It is suggested among others that there should be curriculum integration that combines mathematical training with entrepreneurial education.
