Abstract: Abstract The chapter investigates entrepreneurship trends in Slovenia in the context of the entrepreneurship activity, evolution of entrepreneurship policy and the development of entrepreneurship ecosystem. The performance of companies and the entrepreneurship activity in Slovenia are lagging behind the EU average, particularly in areas such as early stage entrepreneurship and established entrepreneurship rates. Additionally, the entrepreneurship policy lags behind in terms of access to finance, administrative complexity and burdens and entrepreneurship education. However, specifically the start-up ecosystem, as a part of entrepreneurship ecosystem, and start-up community in Slovenia are rapidly developing. Based on an insight into the entrepreneurship activity and the progress of entrepreneurship policy and ecosystem up to this point, we suggest some entrepreneurship policy measures that could improve the function of the entrepreneurship ecosystem and increase the quality of entrepreneurship in Slovenia.
