Abstract

Culture and entrepreneurship are complex and interrelated social concepts. The paper aims to
determine the importance of national culture for entrepreneurship progress in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) region. The
article focuses on a meta-analysis of the inputs integrated into a European Union Policy Index. It aimed to underline the
nature of specific interrelation mechanisms of the cultural dimensions that could contribute to developing a performant
entrepreneurial environment. The correlation analysis used in the paper detects the most ”sensitive” pairs of variables
related to national culture and entrepreneurship activities. Results show a highly significant relationship between the
Motivation Towards Achievement and Success index and a large part of the dimensions of the sustainable entrepreneurial
development of EaP countries, especially Internationalization and Support Services for Small and Medium Enterprises
SMEs and start-ups. Another significant relationship is between Individualism and the Development of Entrepreneurial
Activities in the analyzed countries.
