2.1. What is entrepreneurial competence?

It is important to highlight and promote a broad acceptance of entrepreneurial competence, one that reflects any context: from education and training, from work and from personal life in general.

EntreComp: The entrepreneurial competence framework (2016) defines entrepreneurship as "a transversal competence that is found in all spheres of life: from facilitating personal development, to active participation in society, (re) insertion in the labor market, as an employee or self-employed, and until the start of an (cultural, social or commercial) initiative.”
