The notion of entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) is increasingly used in research and practice, but still remains highly theoretical and abstract. The EE refers to all the players - companies, institutions, universities, investors, networks - who interact to foster the creation and growth of businesses. From Silicon Valley start-ups to Montreal incubators, these ecosystems are seen as innovation hubs. But how do they work in practice?

This book offers you an in-depth look at the mechanisms that govern these environments. Through practical case studies - from supporting immigrant women entrepreneurs to the digital transformation of SMEs - you'll discover new perspectives and insightful analyses on the subject.
