The promotion of entrepreneurship is part of many regional policies. By implementing such policies, however, stakeholders often neither share a common interpretation of the term entrepreneurship nor do they have indicators for the measurement of entrepreneurship at hand. This paper offers both a definition and a set of indicators to measure entrepreneurship in peripheral regions. The results are based on a Delphi-survey of experts for regional development in Switzerland.
