Entrepreneurship as a factor and bearer of economic growth and development in many countries is particularly important for research and study. The most well-known exploration of entrepreneurial activities around the world is carried out within the framework of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research, and the Republic of Croatia is also a part of it. Within this research, to identify the entrepreneurial activity, we used indicators of potential entrepreneurs, new entrepreneurs, "adult" entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial activities of employees. The aim of this paper is to explore entrepreneurship in the Republic of Croatia, as well as the GEM research results for the Republic of Croatia, selected indicators from the OECD statistical base, namely: the number of newly opened enterprises, the number of closed enterprises, and the number of bankruptcy firms compared to the selected countries of the world. The main hypothesis of the paper is that the Republic of Croatia is significantly behind the entrepreneurship for the selected countries of the world. The article provides a detailed insight into the entrepreneurship activity in the Republic of Croatia, which is the basis for further research and the identification of corrective measures to improve entrepreneurship in the Republic of Croatia significantly.
