Cultivating Entrepreneurial Competence
Welcome to the EntreComp Orchard! Innovation isn't just about ideas or tech — it's also about the skills, attitudes, and mindsets we bring. That's what EntreComp makes visible. EntreComp Orchard is a self-assessment and competence mapping project intended for use in entrepreneurship education—by educators, institutions, or individuals interested in mapping and expanding their entrepreneurial repertoire and mindset.
Map your competences against the threads of the EntreComp framework. For each of the 60 EntreComp threads, you'll see "I can" statements across 8 levels of proficiency.
Compare the statements and choose the level that best matches your current ability. You will see your profile visualized as an annotated flower that you can share.
What are your strong points? Which areas need work?
Next to your personal EntreComp flower, you will see an at-a-glance summary of your strengths, as well as areas where you have assessed yourself with a lower score.
Check where you stand relative to your reference group. You will see at a glance how your scores compare to those of your peers.
Want all the details? You can analyze how the scores are distributed in the group for every competence and thread.
Understand your relative strengths, weaknesses, and key focus areas by comparing your latest self-assessment to one of 7 archetypes.
“You spot opportunities and rally support to pursue them.”
Understand how your profile is developing as you reach milestones, such as completing trainings, courses, or specific experiences.
By repeating the self-assessment at different milestones, you can visualize and track how your competence profile evolves.
Find competence matches within your reference group. You will see the best matches with a complementing skillset—individuals with whom you could form a competent team.
The Educator Dashboard is your command center. Easily manage groups, invite users via email, and track assessment progress in real-time.
See who has started, who is pending, and send automated reminders with a single click. Keep your cohort on track and ensure high completion rates.
Break up your reference group into balanced-competence teams of any size.
Make the best use of the "competence pool" in the entire group. You can manually tweak team composition according to your needs and priorities, and store the result as team sets.
Go beyond static snapshots. Visualize growth trends across your entire group or specific teams over time.
Identify collective strengths, monitor the impact of your educational interventions, and make data-driven decisions to support your cohort's development.
