    Entrepreneurship has become front and center not only in economies but in society. It is almost impossible for a briefing on economic policy to not include the resonant call for communities to build their “entrepreneurial ecosystem”. However, only rarely do they define what they mean beyond “more startups” or maybe “more small businesses”, leaving policy makers on the ground struggling with how to deliver a healthier entrepreneurial ecosystem. However, as the metaphor suggests, an ecosystem is characterized by dynamism and interconnectivity. How do the various components of an entrepreneurial economy work together (or not)? We bring together here the leading experts on entrepreneurial ecosystems, research and practice. Attendees will leave with a much stronger conceptual framework for understanding entrepreneurial ecosystems and a rich toolkit of ideas they can use in their own communities. Attendees WILL leave knowing more about to successfully grow their own local ecosystems.

    We bring together here the leading experts on entrepreneurial ecosystems, research and practice.
