Abstract

A country’s economic success depends on the profitability of its enterprises. Regarding entrepreneurship, however, opinions differ to a large extent. In addition to the social and economic conditions, the significance of entrepreneurship education is also dealt with in our paper. The primary objective is to give an insight into what it is like to be an entrepreneur in today’s Hungary. The key findings of students’ and entrepreneurs’ questionnaires directed at the necessary knowledge, competencies, skills and willingness to set up an enterprise are also presented.
