“…We see the emergence of STV-based innovation activity in India as a combined effect of both concerted policy push (i.e., NIS-based advocacy) and collective efforts (i.e., ecosystem play) by various institutional constituencies, such as higher educational institutes, research-based laboratories, technology-focused firms, venture capitalists and highly inventive individuals (or groups of individuals). Indeed, in line with the observation by scholars in the broader context of Indian start-ups (e.g., Jha, 2018;Kapturkiewicz, 2021), we find that S&T policy initiatives have been complemented by an entrepreneurial ecosystem focused on STVs. In the rest of this section, we elucidate how NIS and ecosystem aspects shaped and supported the emergence of STVs in India and then show how the two perspectives converge in a sectoral context.…”

The study traces the emergence of science and technology ventures (STVs) in India through two systemic lenses—National Innovation System (NIS) perspective, which espouses a top-down, policy-driven approach to encourage STVs, and the ecosystem perspective, which highlights the role of independent organisations in nucleating STVs. Converging the NIS and ecosystem perspectives—at sectoral levels—is found to be germane for STV emergence. The sectoral systems of innovation (SSI) perspective is then advanced to emphasise how the integration of NIS and ecosystem approaches has enabled a thriving STV landscape in India. The case of biotech sector is discussed to illustrate the integration. Based on this analysis, the study advocates policy intervention at the sectoral level, and a thrust on firm-centric innovation as a complement to investments in fundamental research, to unleash a wave of STVs in the country.

“…This study adopts the case study methodology, which is common in the highly context-driven field of entrepreneurial ecosystems (Kapturkiewicz, 2021; Scheidgen, 2021; Scheidgen and Brattström, 2022). The critical realist case study helps us understand the dynamics of a phenomenon within a specific setting (Easton, 2010) and, in doing so, identify, explore, and explain the causal powers, processes and mechanisms at work (Ackroyd and Karlsson, 2014).…”

Entrepreneurial ecosystems comprise a range of different actors, structures and processes that support entrepreneurs in starting and growing their ventures. They are governed through collective action, which helps ecosystem actors achieve common goals that otherwise would be beyond the scope of their individual abilities. However, we have a limited understanding of the key mechanisms through which they organise their interactions. This article explores how ecosystem actors engage in collective action based on a case study of the Scottish entrepreneurial ecosystem. The main contribution is the introduction of a novel ecosystem governance mechanism coined ‘ecosystem pipelines’, which are logical pathways between ecosystem actors through which entrepreneurs can access support and resources as they progress their ventures. This article highlights that entrepreneurial ecosystems are purpose-driven networks based on horizontal relationship building among actors – as opposed to top-down or bottom-up organising – in pursuit of a common purpose to promote entrepreneurship.

“…Based on a comparative case analysis, Kapturkiewicz (2021) concludes that entrepreneurial ecosystems should not be reduced to standardized measures but evaluated based on their configuration according to the 'Varieties of EEs' and within their context and state of development. Early work has emerged that studies the link between entrepreneurial ecosystems and a variety of outputs (as discussed in the previous section) and other outcomes as well.…”

Entrepreneurial ecosystems have developed from a powerful idea and concept into a transdisciplinary research program, increasing our understanding into entrepreneurship-led development and providing actionable knowledge for improving the conditions for entrepreneurship and development. In this paper we take stock of the progress to date and synthesize the findings of 181 empirical scientific entrepreneurial ecosystem studies with a systematic literature review. We organized the review around five key mechanisms that explain the nature and development of entrepreneurial ecosystems: (1) interdependence of its elements, (2) upward causation explaining entrepreneurial ecosystem outputs and (3) outcomes, (4) downward causation and path dependence, and (5) inter-ecosystem links. We summarize the findings and outline opportunities for research and discuss policy implications in the light of a transdisciplinary entrepreneurial ecosystem research program. This paper is of interest for scholars of all academic disciplines that provide knowledge that is relevant for the understanding of entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship-led development, but also for all stakeholders involved in the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems.
