Abstract: The paper studies the entrepreneurial motivation of adults from five EU countries: Romania, Greece, Spain, Denmark and Belgium. The selected countries are involved as partners in a Leonardo da Vinci project, intended to adapt a board game into serious game for improving the entrepreneurial skills. Based on the data provided by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor we determine a series of factors, for each country that influences the decision of a young people/adult to start a new venture. The data are collected through an annual survey, conducted on a representative sample of the adult population between 18-64 years for every country (at least 2,000 per country). We develop our analysis on the 2010 database.
