The research presents the status of enterprising and innovation fostering in Slovenia and compares it to the models well-established in some European and other countries. The aim of the research is to advise a model for raising innovation among youth. Introduction of education programmes for developing entrepreneurial drive and innovation in secondary schools would provide systematic and organised development of innovation potential of young people. An innovative youth would contribute to a raise in innovativeness and competitiveness of the economy.
