Many entrepreneurial opportunities are associated with events, including sports competitions, races and tournaments, concerts and music festivals, and conferences and exhibitions, yet this variant of entrepreneurship has not been specifically accounted for in the literature. We integrate insights from entrepreneurship research with research on temporary organizational forms, stakeholder theory, and platform strategy to define Event-Based Entrepreneurship (EBE) and propose factors that account for the founding and scaling of event-based ventures. In so doing, we lay the conceptual foundations and offer theoretical and practical directions for an expanded research agenda on EBE.

许多创业机会都与活动相关，包括体育比赛、竞赛和锦标赛、音乐会和音乐节、会议和展览，但文献中尚未具体说明这种创业形式。我们将创业研究的见解与临时组织形式、利益相关者理论和平台策略的研究相结合，来定义基于事件的创业（EBE），并提出解释基于事件的企业的创立和规模化的因素。在此过程中，我们为 EBE 的扩展研究议程奠定了概念基础并提供了理论和实践方向。
