Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze entrepreneurial intention among both undergraduates and graduate students of business in Pokhara Valley. The sample size of the study is 150 has been taken as a purposive sampling technique. Along with that, questionnaires have been distributed to the business students of Pokhara. This study applied descriptive and analytical research design, which uses a quantitative method to meet the objective. The data analysis found that respondents are highly interested in entrepreneurship as a career and they prefer to become entrepreneurs most rather than going abroad or do a job. From the analysis of the study, the dependent variable entrepreneurial Intention has a significant relationship with independent variables personal attitude and interest and relational support whereas; it doesn’t have any significant relationship with structural support, entrepreneurship education, and family occupation.

Industry 4.0 demands specific conditions and resources from regions. Determining and assessing the potential of regions helps to improve the processes of decision-making of different stakeholders. This study aimed to present an approach for ranking regions. A new tool called the Regional Industrial Index (RII) was designed based on a set of 10 indicators. The RII was tested using data from regions in Bulgaria at NUTS 3 level for three years and showed the leading role of the capital region. Similar studies conducted in other countries of the EU and the Balkan states can be used for a comparative perspective. The research contributes to the scientific and practical discourse in the decision-making process for choosing the most relevant regions for developing Industry 4.0.
