Abstract: It is abundantly clear that entrepreneurship is important for economic growth, productivity, innovation and employment, and many EU countries have made entrepreneurship an explicit policy priority. As globalization reshapes the international economic landscape and technological change creates greater uncertainty in the world economy, entrepreneurship is believed to offer ways to help to meet new economic, social and environmental challenges. This paper presents the research conducted in Croatia during 2012. We analyzed the state aid and available EU funds to identify the financing capacities of target groups in the field of entrepreneurship and agriculture. We also conducted a survey among 253 entrepreneurs and agriculture producers to determine the main obstacles and problems in financing their development. The results revealed the main directions that we need to pursue to achieve a higher rate of absorption of non-refundable financial aid.
Keywords: entrepreneurship, agriculture, development, state aid, eu funds
