Not everyone is an entrepreneur, but entrepreneurs are everywhere

As entrepreneurship drives economic development, researchers and governments are becoming increasingly interested in the fundamental role higher education might play in fostering entrepreneurial behaviour. Using a multiple correspondence analysis, three types of entrepreneur competency profiles related to gender, study path, scopes of talent and areas of study were obtained. The results show that entrepreneurial skills are transferable and can be found everywhere. These findings can be used as a basis for useful recommendations to develop more effective policies which can improve competences and better prepare future professionals.
