Abstract: Innovation and entrepreneurship education has becoming an important part of talent training in many colleges and
universities, and the development of innovation and entrepreneurship education must be integrated with professional education. Based
on the symbiosis theory, this paper analyzes the connotation of the integration from four dimensions, i.e. symbiosis unit, symbiosis
interface, symbiosis mode and symbiosis environment. Then the paper proposes paths for the integration, i. e. from "target
superposition" to "target coupling", from "curriculum combination" to "curriculum reconstruction", from "touching symbiosis" to
"integrated symbiosis", and from "external thrust" to "combined force".

Key words: innovation and entrepreneurship education, professional education, symbiosis, integration
