Entrepreneurship has significantly evolved over the years, becoming an interdisciplinary field encompassing various perspectives. The “Entrepreneurial Mindset” (EM) has emerged as a key concept to understand how education can drive entrepreneurial intention and facilitate more innovative societies. Despite the recognition of the importance of EM, the connection between different levels and contexts of entrepreneurial education and its direct impact on forming this mindset is still underexplored, especially in emerging markets and insular contexts. This study aims to explore the impact of entrepreneurship education on the development of an entrepreneurial mindset, considering different levels of education and varied geographical contexts. A systematic literature review was conducted using the Web of Science platform, where relevant articles published in the last five years were selected. Co-occurrence analysis of keywords was employed to identify the main themes addressed. The research revealed that entrepreneurship education has a substantial impact on EM, highlighting the importance of adapting curricula that emphasize the practical and theoretical skills necessary for innovation and risk management. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
