Abstract: This article analyses the influence of cultural and socio-cultural factors on the development of entrepreneurial mindset and behavior across different regions worldwide. Analyzing existing literature, international reports, and recent statistics, it highlights how cultural dimensions such as individualism, collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation shape entrepreneurial attitudes and actions. The study underscores that countries with open, innovation-friendly cultures tend to exhibit higher rates of new venture creation, whereas more conservative societies display lower entrepreneurial activity. The role of education, social norms, and public policies in fostering entrepreneurial culture is emphasized as crucial for economic growth and social progress. Overall, the findings suggest that understanding and leveraging cultural values can significantly enhance entrepreneurial development, advocating for targeted strategies to cultivate an environment conducive to innovation, risk-taking, and social capital building across diverse cultural contexts.
