The tendency of foreign investors to starting a business in a given region of the country can be determined by the level of investment attractiveness, which is influenced by a lot of location factors. Therefore, it is important to examine the correlation between the level of investment attractiveness and the level of entrepreneurship in each region. The main purpose of the paper was to diagnose the relationship between the spatial structure of foreign-capital enterprises and the level of investment attractiveness of the regions. The analysis of interdependencies between variables was conducted for 16 Polish voivodships characterized by diversified level of investment attractiveness and a different number of new registered enterprises with foreign capital in the years 2009-2017.
