Abstract: Abstract This study aims to answer three research questions in order to understand and explain the impact of clusters on both entrepreneurship and the relationship between entrepreneurship and regional development: Is the level of entrepreneurship in regions with clusters higher than that of regions without clusters? Is the relationship between the level of entrepreneurship and regional development stronger in regions with clusters than in regions without clusters? If regions with clusters are associated with different levels of entrepreneurship and stronger relationships between entrepreneurship and regional development, what factors explain those differences?
