“…This is incorporated in the general education of the workforce and on the local supply of individuals with entrepreneurial orientation. This feature is widely recognized by literature, be it under the concepts of human capital (Isenberg, 2011;WEF, 2014), worker talent (Spigel, 2017), human resources (Nicotra et al, 2017) or talent pool (Stam & Spigel, 2016). Illustratively, the ratio of hightech employment often predicts entrepreneurial activity in regions (Motoyama & Danley, 2012).…”

“…In sum, the underlying rationale of entrepreneurial ecosystems is focused on interactions between economic agents, tangible and intangible factors of production, and how these vectors translate into entrepreneurship within a given location (Ács et al, 2017;Nicotra et al, 2017;Mack & Mayer, 2016;Stam, 2015). Because of its (eco)systemic character, the productivity of these geographical units is 3 affected by the performance of any of their components (Ács et al, 2014).…”

“…Amongst the factors related to entrepreneurial location in geographical space, access to a relevant knowledge base stands for a fundamental attribute of interesteven more so for the scrutiny of knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship (Nicotra et al, 2017;Boschma & Martin, 2010). Affluent 2 Because of the highly local nature of entrepreneurial ecosystems, literature has recognized these units (cities) as the most adequate locus for empirical assessments (Bruns et al, 2017;Audretsch & Belitski, 2017) technological environments tend to facilitate entrepreneurial activity at the local level (Nicotra et al, 2017). In the State of São Paulo, Brazil, city-level patenting activity has demonstrated a strong influence on the emergence of KIE activity (Fischer et al, 2017).…”

“…These conditions pose fundamental challenges for analysts and policymakers, as one-size-fits-all initiatives and analytical models can be deemed inappropriate for most locations (Nicotra et al, 2017;Stam & Spigel, 2016). The economic mechanisms that shape evolutionary trends in entrepreneurship are not of a linear nature and they operate differently in distinct locations with varying socioeconomic backgrounds (Ács et al, 2017;Brown & Mason, 2017;Martin & Sunley, 2011;Audretsch, 2015;Boschma & Martin, 2010;Rosenthal & Strange, 2001).…”

Knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship is unevenly distributed in geographical space, which is largely attributed to heterogeneous endowments in terms of knowledge, institutions, resources and demand. Nonetheless, specialized literature faces a lack of approaches dealing with the evolutionary dynamics of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems' components. Based on these foundations, we hypothesize that entrepreneurial ecosystems can assume different configurations, i.e., varying combinations of influential dimensions that can generate similar outcomes in terms of entrepreneurial intensity. In order to address this proposal we use Qualitative Comparative Analysis with fuzzy sets to assess city-lvel data from the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Over the last few decades research into the different aspects of technology transfer has grown significantly that has taken in the main a macro perspective. This research has created a body of knowledge and an evidence base that has contributed original insights in developing the field and also has shaped policymaking and practice. Within the field there is a growing focus on meso and micro aspects of technology transfer and a growing interest in for example role individual actors such as scientists, principal investigators policy makers, TTO actors, supporting institutions and functions such as universities, professional research organizations, technology and knowledge transfer offices. This research is unearthing fine-grained nuances and insights that provide further evidence of how technology transfer activities are shaped and evolve in different geographical and organizational contexts. The purpose of this special issue is to provide a further understanding of macro, meso and micro perspectives of technology transfer and to provide an agenda for further research that blends these multi-level perspectives of technology transfer.

This paper analyses the digital ecosystem (DES), entrepreneurial ecosystem (EES) and economic development (ED) indicators as key determinants of digital technology entrepreneurship (DTE) across the globe. The correlation matrix depicts an important relationship between DTE, DES, EES and ED. Further, the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM) results show that DES and EES have a favourable and significant influence on the establishment of digital technology entrepreneurship (DTE) globally. However, the ED, though, has a positive and significant impact on EES and DES, not directly impacting DTE. The study is useful to various stakeholders such as entrepreneurs, funding agencies, policymakers and researchers in their decision‐making process.
