Abstract

The last decade has witnessed the rise of technology-based entrepreneurs who managed to build companies based on the use of emerging digital technologies. However, the pure availability of digital technologies in a particular country does not guarantee to establish successful companies and economic growth. Companies are located in certain regional or urban environments with varying contextual factors. Cities have been a popular unit of analysis for technological development and economic activities due to their high dependency on immediate local environmental factors. Nevertheless, the literature offers a limited view on the relationship between technological developments and entrepreneurial activities at city level to identify feasible frameworks to support a digitally competitive entrepreneurial ecosystem. By combining the previous literature on entrepreneurship and digital technologies within a particular urban context, this paper offers a conceptual approach that might help policy makers to plan the future competitiveness of their cities.

建立基于数字技术的创业生态系统:城市层面的政策路线图方法

过去十年见证了技术型企业家的崛起，他们成功地利用新兴数字技术建立了公司。然而，在一个特定的国家，数字技术的纯粹可用性并不能保证建立成功的公司和经济增长。公司位于具有不同背景因素的特定区域或城市环境中。城市一直是技术发展和经济活动的流行分析单位，因为它们高度依赖当地的直接环境因素。然而，文献对技术发展与城市层面的创业活动之间的关系提供了有限的观点，以确定支持数字化竞争创业生态系统的可行框架。通过结合以往关于特定城市背景下创业和数字技术的文献，本文提供了一种概念性方法，可能有助于政策制定者规划其城市的未来竞争力。
