Abstract

This short communication contains a reflection on local entrepreneurial ecosystems and how to boost them, in the context of smart specialisation strategies of cities and regions. It is based on a literature study and inputs from ten member cities of the InFocus project (sponsored by the EU's URBACT programme), that exchange and develop knowledge about the development of smart specialisation strategies on the urban level. In September 2017, the network held a meeting in Turin, dedicated to the topic of promoting entrepreneurship ecosystems. The paper discusses several specific aspects of policies regarding entrepreneurship: the relation with smart specialisation approach, start-up promotion policies, fostering a culture of entrepreneurship, and the different development stages in entrepreneurship: Starting, scaling, and growing, with examples from cities in the InFocus network. Among other things, it concludes that a stronger alignment between the urban and regional policy levels is required to link the urban-focused start-up ecosystems to the regional industrial tissue.

促进城市创业:InFocus网络的经验与思考-一篇简短的通讯

这篇简短的交流包含了对当地创业生态系统的反思，以及如何在城市和地区智能专业化战略的背景下促进它们。它是基于文献研究和来自InFocus项目(由欧盟城市行动计划赞助)的十个成员城市的投入，这些城市在城市层面上交流和发展有关智能专业化战略发展的知识。2017年9月，该网络在都灵举行了一次会议，专门讨论了促进创业生态系统的主题。本文以InFocus网络中的城市为例，讨论了创业政策的几个具体方面:与智能专业化方法的关系、创业促进政策、培养创业文化，以及创业的不同发展阶段:起步、扩大规模和成长。除其他事项外，它得出结论，城市和区域政策层面之间需要更强的一致性，以将以城市为中心的初创生态系统与区域工业组织联系起来。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
