Summary/Abstract: Entrepreneurial education is considered as one of the priority directions for the development of the education system both at international level and in the Republic of Moldova. Research has shown that investing in entrepreneurial education is one of the most profitable investments, and young people who have benefited from entrepreneurial education are more likely to start their own business at some point in their lives. Over the last decade, the governments of several states have paid particular attention to the aspects of legislative support for the entrepreneurial training process in the education system. Given the context of global change and the pronounced demographic decline in the Republic of Moldova, lifelong learning is considered an important concern of the education system. Thus, in recent years, various projects have been launched at national level to support the development of entrepreneurial education. The European Union funded and recently launched Collaborative Entrepreneurial Education project that aims to increase access to quality entrepreneurship training, development students’ entrepreneurial skills, and train a new generation of entrepreneurs for the textile industry, which is a key industry in Moldova. Through this project, the importance and necessity of entrepreneurial education for students were identified based on a survey conducted at the Faculty of Textiles and Polygraphy in the Technical University of Moldova, and the results were compared with the results of the survey from the Faculty of Industrial Design and Business Management within the ”Gheorghe Asachi“ Technical University of Iași, Romania.
