Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (EE) research raised as a hot topic (Velt et al., 2020), leading to progresses on its elements (Stam and van de Ven, 2019), network (Albourini et al., 2020), actors (Purbasari et al., 2020) or levels of analysis (Theodoraki and Messeghem, 2017). However, some scholars regret the absence of empirical analysis of EE as a whole to understand how EE configuration operates (Panetti et al., 2019).
This paper addresses this question. It emphasizes the networked nature of EE and provides an original empirical study led on several EEs in Africa. Interactions between entrepreneurs (Carayannis et al., 2018; Corrente et al., 2019; Neumeyer et al., 2019), incubators (van Rijnsoever, 2020), institutions (Ivy and Perényi, 2020), running various forms of collaboration (Basole et al., 2015; Theodoraki and Messeghem, 2015), play a central role in the distribution of EE resources to entrepreneurs.
Providing an empirical study on EE is a crucial issue for research (Cavallo et al., 2019), and requires to apprehend its network attributes (Tatarynowicz et al., 2016). This will open new theoretical perspectives to understand the organisational model of EE and its impact on its outcomes (Ratten and Rashid, 2020).

GUENEAU, G., CHABAUD D., CHALUS SAUVANNET M.C. (2021),
The Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Research Winter School brings together scholars to discuss academic advancements in the emerging research field of entrepreneurial ecosystems (see e.g. Stam 2015; Wurth et al. 2019; Theodoraki 2024). Early-career scholars, including PhD candidates, are particularly invited to participate and present their work. Previous editions have been held in Utrecht, Casablanca, Paris and […]

This Summer School aims to provide the opportunity for early career researchers and PhD students to discuss, network and collaborate with fellow scholars on entrepreneurial ecosystems. The Summer School takes place after the Winter School organized by Utrecht and the Innodays conference organized in 2022 by Adalia (Morocco), which have involved more than 100 scholars […]
Entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) research requires a better understanding of its various configurations and processes at its whole scale to open its black box and create new theoretical opportunities. We designed exploratory research to longitudinally observe network behaviors between EE ‘species’ in four territories (3 in Africa, 1 in France) from 2017 to 2021 by observing […]
