The concept of an "entrepreneurial ecosystem" has become a major means of both theorizing and making policy decisions about entrepreneurship, innovation and economic development. The idea of an entrepreneurial ecosystem captures the way in which entrepreneurship is increasingly realized and undertaken through the innate interdependencies existing between the elements and components of what are essentially biotic communities (consisting of complex interactions between human agents and a range of tangible and intangible components). This book takes a multi-faceted perspective on the emergence of entrepreneurship within ecosystems in cities and regions, how these ecosystems evolve and operate, and their future development. This introductory chapter provides initial theoretical background on the nature of ecosystems in the context of entrepreneurship and urban and regional development, before giving a summary of the three parts of the book: (1) The emergence of entrepreneurial ecosystems; (2) The evolution of entrepreneurial ecosystems; and (3) The future of entrepreneurial ecosystems.
