Summary/Abstract: Motivation: Green infrastructure, infrastructure and entrepreneurship serve to improve the quality of life, and social equality and reduce environmental risks and ecological shortages, or improve territorial cohesion. Entrepreneurship and infrastructure must be built based on the region's available potential.Aim: The article aims to analyze the spatial diversity of infrastructure and its impact on entrepreneurship in powiats in Poland in the year 201o-2020. Technique for Order Preferences by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was used to construct the synthetic measure. Empirical data were collected in the spatial coverage of power ties for the years 2010-2020.Results: There is spatial diversity of entrepreneurship, infrastructure and green infrastructure in powiats in Poland. The effects generated by infrastructure, and green infrastructure may have a positive impact on minimising the impact of external factors causing disruptions to regional systems. The synthetic entrepreneurship measure ranged from 0.11 to 0.46 in 2010, and from 0.23 to 0.72 in 2020. For the synthetic infrastructure measure, values ranged from 0. 14 to 0.45 in 2010 and 0.16 to 0.53 in 2020. The synthetic green infrastructure measure was 0.28-0.52 in 2010 and 0.32-0.60 in 2020, respectively. Infrastructure is very important for the processes taking place in the local economy. It constitutes an investment proposal and an offer of conditions necessary for conducting business activity.
