Abstract: Entrepreneurial orientation influences the development of organizations and the need to undertake it implies assuming certain risks for entrepreneurs who must respond to the constant dynamism of the business world in search of new opportunities for success. The objective was to find the conditions for and against the entrepreneurial orientation that exists in the State of Hidalgo, through the opinion of 300 experts in entrepreneurship. A measuring instrument was used and adapted in 2019 by the National Network of MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises) of the Consortium of Mexican Universities (CUMEX), based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and the information was collected through an online questionnaire. The main results show the need to strengthen entrepreneurial orientation, improving aspects regarding financing, government programs, the opening of the internal market and regulations, and social and cultural issues; likewise, an important finding is that the generalized perception of this phenomenon is more positive than if each dimension is analyzed in a particular way, along with the factors that compose it. This study can contribute to the generation of a better entrepreneurial culture that encourages the creation of new businesses.
