Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of a survey carried out among the inhabitants of Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. Its aim was to identify climate of entrepreneurship in this region. The results of the survey indicate that the inhabitants of the region perceive entrepreneurship as an important factor of socio-economic development of the region. They recognize the existence of numerous barriers to entrepreneurship, but their assessment of stimulants of entrepreneurship suggests that in this region there are favorable conditions for entrepreneurship development. According to the respondents, in the creation of favorable conditions for business development public and private institutions should be involved, and local government should be the most active in this field. The most desirable actions to support entrepreneurship in the region include legal and economic instruments, development in the region of business environment and the organization of links between scientific institutions and business.
