Abstract: Abstract Entrepreneurship education is considered one of the prerequisites for shaping young entrepreneurs who can generate economic growth and create new jobs. The education system at all levels contributes to the formation of entrepreneurial competences. A special status attributes to universities whose curricula contribute to the motivation to set up a business and do business. Teaching methods e-designed to provide students with knowledge of entrepreneurship and develop entrepreneurial thinking and behavior that employers need in the Industry 4.0. The paper aims to analyze the entrepreneurship education with a focus on Russia and the Czech Republic and to define what digital literacy brings to entrepreneurship education. The methodology uses a bibliometric analysis of the databases of Web of Science and Scopus for the period 1990–2020 about the state-of-the-art in the field of entrepreneurship education at universities. The bibliographic data supplement research findings from secondary sources and five case studies. The later ones utilize data from unstructured interviews held in Russia and the Czech Republic about the job requirements applied to university students and graduates in the context of educational digitization and digital literacy. The challenges for university study programs and lifelong employability remain whether curricula will develop and implement in collaboration with the business, and teaching will use proactive and activating teaching methods.
