Abstract
Human capital can be seen as a forecaster for success. In general, there is more economic growth when there is more human capital in a region. Human capital and social capital can be seen as important sources for entrepreneurship. This research tries to find an answer to the question: How do the economic policies of Groningen and Utrecht stimulate human capital, and how does this relate to the perceptions of the entrepreneurs in the IT sector? To answer this question the economic policies of the municipality of Groningen and Utrecht are analyzed, an interview is held with the municipality of Groningen and interviews are held with entrepreneurs. The conclusion revealed that both municipalities are aware of the importance of human capital and try to support different initiatives that stimulate human capital. However, these initiatives are not always distinguishable for the entrepreneurs within the municipality.
