This study presents a comparative bibliometric analysis of entrepreneurship education research in Germany and Italy over the past decade. Using data sourced from the Web of Science, the analysis examines key themes, influential publications, and emerging trends in the field. In Germany, the research landscape emphasizes psychological constructs, practical applications, and market-oriented outcomes such as entrepreneurial performance and self-efficacy. In contrast, Italian research integrates psychological traits with institutional frameworks and policy-oriented studies, focusing on broader socio-economic impacts. Both countries share a strong reliance on foundational works, including Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior and Shane’s entrepreneurial opportunity recognition framework, while addressing innovation and sustainability in entrepreneurship education. Despite these similarities, notable differences reflect each country's unique socio-economic priorities, with Germany focusing on behavioral and practical outcomes, and Italy balancing institutional strategies with individual-level traits. The findings highlight interdisciplinary connections and reveal gaps in underexplored areas such as digital entrepreneurship and cross-national collaboration. This study contributes to the field by offering actionable insights for researchers, educators, and policymakers to advance entrepreneurship education and its alignment with contemporary global challenges.
