“…information and communication technologies (ICTs), also enables digitalization, promotes the growth of the digital economy and generates entrepreneurial opportunities (Ganotakis et al, 2021; Jafari-Sadeghi, Garcia-Perez, Candelo, & Couturier, 2021). Finally, physical infrastructure also is important for the environment and the need to implement sustainable corporate practices, as well as the creation of sustainability startups (Tiba, van Rijnsoever, & Hekkert, 2021).…”

Purpose This paper aims to address which resources provided by an entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) are necessary for deep technology entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a novel approach known as necessary condition analysis (NCA) to data on EEs and deep-tech startups from 132 countries, collected in a global innovation index and Crunchbase data sets. The NCA makes it possible to identify whether an EEs resource is a necessary condition that enables entrepreneurship. Findings Necessary conditions are related to political and business environment; education, research and development; general infrastructure; credit; trade; diversification and market size; and knowledge absorption capacity. Research limitations/implications The results show that business and political environments are the most necessary conditions to drive deep-tech entrepreneurship. Practical implications Policymakers could prioritize conditions that maximize entrepreneurial output levels rather than focusing on less necessary elements. Social implications Some resources require less performance than others. So, policymakers should consider allocating policy efforts to strengthen resources that maximize output levels. Originality/value Studies on deep-tech entrepreneurship are scarce. This study provides a bottleneck analysis that can guide the formulation of policies to support deep-tech entrepreneurship, as it allows to identify priority areas for resource allocation.

“…This made businesses consider the impacts of all activities economically, environmentally and socially to ensure a greener way of life both now and in the future. This enables linking economic activities with social and environmental values to sustain well-being for future generations rather than limiting all activities to financial gain to the detriment of environmental standards (Tiba et al, 2021;Davidson et al, 2021). It is needed to provide solutions to environmental problems rather than adding to the existing ones.…”

The article's objective is to identify how media could facilitate the effect of sustainable entrepreneurship on consumer purchase behaviour, based on evidence from the food industry in Nigeria. Research Design & Methods:The research population was experts who have sufficient information, expertise, and experience in the field of sustainable entrepreneurship and marketing, and pay attention to online social platforms and consumer purchase behaviour. There population amounted to 33 interviewed experts. A combination of Delphi-ANP (Analytic Network Process) approaches was used. Results showed that customers' satisfaction was the key dimension that affects sustainable entrepreneurship in the Nigerian food industry. Findings: 'Access to the internet' had the highest rank (F15) (0.33741), which showed that it was the most important factor in developing sustainable entrepreneurship of food industry, regarding to media role in Nigeria. 'production process and the environment' (F1) (0.33461) ranked second and was close to the 'price satisfaction' (F17) (0.32049) in importance. In addition, managers should not ignore the 'excellent functional quality of the brand,' 'personal attributes of customers' care' and 'packaging quality,' since these three factors were ranked fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. Implications & Recommendations:The entrepreneurs should focus more on this dimension to develop a sustainable food industry in Nigeria. Meanwhile, media availability had a significant role in developing sustainable entrepreneurship in Nigeria. Contribution & Value Added: Most researchers focused on sustainable entrepreneurship without considering the impacts of media as a channel of achieving it by changing the consumers' behaviours towards consuming a particular product. Therefore, this research -investigated how media could moderate the effect of sustainable entrepreneurship on consumer purchase behaviour, taking evidence from the food industry in Nigeria.

“…Interviews are complemented by case studies, e.g., Guthbrod [65], Linton [66]. If it is not possible to get personal contact with the start-up, then some researchers analyze the websites of start-ups, e.g., Hilbig et al [67] and Tiba et al [68]; even Kuckertz et al [69] analyzed media reports on start-ups in the Nexis database.…”
