While most studies focus on the number of firms that are created, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) gives us a good indication of how many individuals are actively involved in starting a company or have recently started a company. However, entrepreneurial activity in Flanders seems to be quite low in comparison with other countries worldwide (GEM, 2002 – 2005). According to GEM 2006, the Flemish and Belgian TEA (Total Entrepreneurial Activity) remains seriously below the EU average of 5.01%). At this moment, Flanders and Belgium are falling in the ranks of the 16 participating EU countries and even of the 49 participating countries worldwide. That is, the Flemish TEA decreased even further from 3.71% in 2005 to 3.05 % in 2006, indicating that only 3 out of 100 people in the labour force are actively involved in starting up a company or have started up a company recently. Assuming that entrepreneurs are not born but made (studies have shown that people who have had entrepreneurship training are twice as likely to start a company), it is crucial to encourage entrepreneurship at the individual level. This project will provide insight into how entrepreneurial Flemish students (with a higher education) are, and which policy measures need to be taken to stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit and to further support the start-up of new companies in Flanders.
