Entrepreneurs can be defined as the key actuator of economic growth and an essential factor for societal prosperity. Entrepreneurship is promoted as a career option among young people, and the intention to become entrepreneurs can be influenced by psychological, socio-demographic, and educational factors. This paper examines the impact of personality traits, family background, and international education mobility on students’ entrepreneurial intention. A questionnaire was used in the study as the research instrument. Results of the quantitative analysis show a significant impact of selected factors on entrepreneurship intentions.
