Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and the Quest for Sustainable Transitions
细分领域
What is unique about the Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EE) that support sustainable transitions? What are the key components of these EE? How are these EEs the same as or different from ‘conventional’ EE?
How and to what extent do digital transformations affect the dynamics of sustainable transitions in EE?
What are the ecosystem-level attributes that make some EE fertile environments for innovation-driven sustainable transitions? What makes these EEs effective (i.e., able to support high levels of sustainable entrepreneurship)? Through which processes (and by which incentives) are social and environmental values co-created in EE?
How do evolutionary trajectories of EE affect the propensity to generate significant levels of innovation-driven sustainable entrepreneurship?
What are the EE voids (e.g. institutional, financial, market-related) that hinder the emergence of sustainable innovations? How can policy address such challenges?
How are innovation networks formed and orchestrated in EE to promote sustainable transitions? Who are the leaders and enablers of the EE that support sustainable transitions, how do community leaders improve EE, and do these EE “builders” face unique opportunities and challenges?
How does sustainable entrepreneurship depend on the availability of specific EE actors, such as local entrepreneurship support organizations (e.g., green incubators, accelerators) and types of investors (e.g., impact investors)? How are these EE actors organized across territories, i.e., the spatial topology of EE configurations that enable sustainable transitions based on innovation-driven entrepreneurship (local/regional/national/international)?
What specific strategies do sustainable entrepreneurs use to draw resources from their EE? How do sustainable entrepreneurs leverage their local startup communities?
What are the theories that can inform our understanding of the interface between EE, innovation and sustainable transitions?
How do national, regional and global governance systems interact with sustainable EE?
