Summary/Abstract: Entrepreneurship has demonstrated significant economic importance by contributing to job creation, economic development and increased social welfare. In this context, young entrepreneurs play a crucial role, having the potential to bring innovation, generate positive social change and revitalize local communities. Starting from the research question regarding the degree of civic involvement of future Romanian entrepreneurs, this paper aims to investigate the degree of civic involvement of young Romanians who want to become entrepreneurs, with the main objective of evaluating this aspect. The research was based on a quantitative methodology, more precisely the sociological survey method, using a questionnaire distributed by operators, and is part of a larger study. Following the analysis of the data collected from 881 respondents from western Romania, the results emphasize the need for concrete support measures to increase the civic involvement of young entrepreneurs. At the same time, these conclusions reflect similar trends observed at the European level.
