Entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) are a growing focus for policymakers and academics seeking to foster innovation and economic growth. While existing literature has analysed various aspects of EEs, limited research has examined how public policies can contribute to their development. Through a single-case study, this study addresses this gap by analysing the role of a regional government in overcoming the challenges of building an EE. We explore the creation and development of the Biscay Startup Bay (BSB) EE in Bilbao City (Bizkaia, Basque Country, Spain). We describe the unique framework that they crafted and implemented, highlighting the key attributes that generate value for all stakeholders. This single-case study of the BSB EE in Spain offers valuable insights for policymakers seeking to design and implement successful Open Innovation-driven approaches to creating and developing regional EEs.

通过公共政策培育的开放式创新，构建创业生态系统


创业生态系统 （EE） 是寻求促进创新和经济增长的政策制定者和学者日益关注的焦点。虽然现有文献分析了 EE 的各个方面，但有限的研究考察了公共政策如何促进其发展。通过单一案例研究，本研究通过分析区域政府在克服构建 EE 挑战方面的作用来解决这一差距。我们探索了在毕尔巴鄂市（西班牙巴斯克地区比斯开）的比斯开创业湾 （BSB） EE 的创建和发展。我们描述了他们制定和实施的独特框架，强调了为所有利益相关者创造价值的关键属性。这份关于西班牙 BSB EE 的单一案例研究为寻求设计和实施成功的开放式创新驱动方法来创建和发展区域 EE 的政策制定者提供了宝贵的见解。
