Abstract
Entrepreneurship has a pronounced regional dimension. Differences in startup rates, in entrepreneurial attitudes, and the success of newly founded businesses between regions indicate a distinct importance of space and the local environment for entrepreneurship. Empirical research has shown that such differences are not at all elusive but tend to be rather persistent and to prevail over longer periods of time.
