Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial ecosystems Let’s talk about it!
A forum for dialogue on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial support
Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Lab is a forum for dialogue on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial support. Focusing on entrepreneurial ecosystems, it aims to bring together practitioners (business leaders, consultants, etc.), researchers and students to co-create new knowledge on this topic and help disseminate it.
Better understanding entrepreneurship in its territorial context
Launched in 2013 within the Lab Entreprendre, this programme has given rise to doctoral research, publications, conferences and training courses in France and abroad.
The knowledge produced on entrepreneurial ecosystems is essential for policymakers, entrepreneur networks, networks of support organisations and, more broadly, all entrepreneurial support actors (incubators, accelerators, etc.). The challenge is to better understand the conditions that drive entrepreneurial dynamism in a territory, while taking its specific context into account.
