Abstract Entrepreneurship is one of core social and economic development factor in spatial systems, particularly at regional scale. This article presents results of analyses focused on the place and role of entrepreneurship in theregional development policy in the light of the National Strategy of Regional Development 2010–2020: Regions, Cities, and Rural Areas for Poland (the NSRD 2010-2020). Furthermore, key concepts of the Strategy werecontrasted with entrepreneurship-related concepts presented in the regional development strategies of two other countries – Finland i.e.: Finland’s Regional Development Strategy 2020 (FRDS 2020) and Bulgaria: The NationalRegional Development Strategy of the Republic of Bulgaria for the period 2005-2015 (NRDS 2005-2015). The analysis leads to a conclusion that the role of entrepreneurship in the Polish regional development strategy isunderestimated compared to the position it has in the Finnish and Bulgarian strategies; thus, it is necessary to increase its importance not only in the key assumptions of the strategy but also when implementing theseprinciples of the regional development policy in practice.

Further information

Abstract The paper aims at analysing the role of entrepreneurship in the educational strategy of European Union as well as the position of business education in the systems of national education in selected European states in relation to the level of entrepreneurial development in these countries, measured by the indexes of the number of firms per person according to various size classes. An attempt will be made to determine to what degree the guidelines and objectives of business education in particular countries create favourable conditions for growing new firms, especially in the SME sector.
