This book brings together leading research and scholarship on one of the newest and most compelling forces of economic growth, dynamism and innovation – entrepreneurial ecosystems. Particular emphasis is given to the role of innovation, startups, SMEs and technology transfer in shaping the entrepreneurial ecosystem, as well as its impact on firm performance and regional economic performance.

From the perspectives of theory, empirical analysis and public policy, this book shows why entrepreneurial ecosystems have become the new economic superstars in the global economy. It provides explicit analysis of policies promoting entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial ecosystems, and examines the link between entrepreneurial ecosystems and universities.

This timely collection of research will be of interest not only to academics and scholars in economics and management, but also to thought leaders in public policy and business.
