Entrepreneurship is a characteristic of this current generation; therefore, university students are interested in creating their own business and being independent. However, the context and the existence of an environment conducive to innovation and entrepreneurship are essential to foster interest in entrepreneurship. Likewise, training is important to develop the necessary skills to succeed in entrepreneurship. This study shows the comparison between men and women on their interests and abilities of entrepreneurship in two groups of young university students: the first group of AIESEC (acronym in Spanish) members and the second group of students in their last semesters of Business Engineering. The information was collected through questionnaires that evaluate empathy, values, emotional intelligence, proactivity, among other competencies, as well as interest in entrepreneurship. The results show that there are gender differences in the case of AIESEC members compared to management students. Male gender has statistically significant differences in the perception of excellence to create a company and the existence of previous businesses in both groups. Females, on the other hand, showed lower self-esteem, but greater support from the close circle at the time of creating a business.
