Abstract: The European Entrepreneurship Competence (EntreComp) framework has been proposed by the European Commission in order to build consensus around a common understanding of entrepreneurship competence (knowledge, skills, and attitude). This study reports a bibliometric review of the research to date, addressing the EntreComp framework, based on documents published during the period from 2016 to June 2022. The research dataset was collected from Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) and included 37 articles. The bibliometric analysis includes citation, cooccurence and network analysis to represent the between countries and interorganizational collaboration, to identify relationships between documents topics. Along with the bibliometric analysis, a detailed description of characteristics for each article (study design and objectives, instruments, research findings, etc.) was also presented. Overall, this study provides insights regarding research addressing EntreComp framework, that could guide future research directions of practitioners/policy makers/researchers/etc. in the entrepreneurial competencies field and other interconnected domains.
