Abstract
Several studies showed that entrepreneurships are embedded in that socio-economic environment, where they continue their economic activity. The paper focuses on the relationship between the entrepreneurial activity and the entrepreneurial performance influencing factors. The entrepreneurial activity is measured by the number of newly born firms, and the entrepreneurial performance refers on the values of the influencing factors (pillars) which are grouped into three sub-categories according the methodology of Regional Entrepreneurship and Development Index (REDI Index). It can be assumed that in those regions where these pillars have high values, there will be higher entrepreneurial activity. The results were ambivalent. The entrepreneurial activity and performance are stronger related in the case of dominantly urban regions. However in the case of other regions the relationship between entrepreneurial activity and entrepreneurial performance indicated a weaker performance.
