The entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) refers to a heterogeneous network of interactive, contingent, or evolving actors, organizations, institutions, or processes that may interact (in a more or less coordinated manner and to varying degrees) in a value-creation process to promote or support entrepreneurship (Chasserio et al., 2022; Gueguen, 2020). Theodoraki and Messeghem (2017) depict EE through three layers or levels of actors: (1) the meso level includes the different EE actors that are, e.g., state agencies, local governments, chambers of commerce and industry (CCI), etc.; (2) the macro level encompasses the different networks that are, e.g, (2) the macro level encompasses the various networks, e.g., incubators, banks, support and financing structures, crowdfunding platforms, etc.; and (3) the micro level includes individuals, i.e., entrepreneurial project holders.
In an EE environment under tension due to the multiplicity of support actors, this specil interest group invites researchers to consider the following questions, amons others, to better understand EE and their impacts:
– What are the dynamics of EE? How can multi-level interactions between actors and other ecosystems be developed?
– How can EE be organized to benefit all stakeholders? How to measure the effectiveness of EE and guide public action?
– What is the role of innovative financing tools such as participatory financing platforms in these EE?
– What is the relationship between digital entrepreneurship (Sahut et al., 2021) and EE?
– How do EE enable the development of social entrepreneurship or CSR values?
