Abstract: Addressing economic and institutional hurdles, as well as cultural perceptions and attitudes, is crucial for fostering entrepreneurship among higher education graduates. A survey was conducted in Romania's West and North-West development zones to determine participants' intents for entrepreneurship. The results showed that respondents had less knowledge about business centers and consulting services than about specialized training and loans. The study also identified barriers to entrepreneurship, such as continuing specialized studies and infringing on a business. The respondents' perspectives were shaped by their social environment, including family, friends, workplace, and society. Entrepreneurship development relies on cultural attitudes, financial accessibility, and governmental policy. Effective policies reduce red tape, simplify administrative processes, and offer support. Access to capital, risk capital, and microfinance can boost entrepreneurial initiatives. Social conventions and cultural values shape entrepreneurial intentions.
