Popis: Education plays a key role in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation, especially in new global markets and in the whirlpool of the rapid technological changes in the world. This paper shortly discusses the concept of entrepreneurship education, focusing on the factors that increase entrepreneurship intentions, e.g. cognitive, conative and affective dimensions of personality. It also introduces alignments and the current situation in the promotion of entrepreneurial education in Brazil and in Finland giving case examples of practices to develop students’ entrepreneurial competences in different education levels in both countries. The conclusions highlight some similarities and differences in the approaches of the two countries as well as draw recommendations on how entrepreneurial competences could be fostered in all levels of education.
