Public-Private Synergies in Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Development: Evidence from Emerging Markets

Abstract

The emergence of robust entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) has become pivotal for economic development in emerging markets. This research explores the synergistic relationships between public and private sector stakeholders in fostering these ecosystems. Using mixed-methods data from India, Brazil, and Indonesia, we analyze how collaborative initiatives between governments and private actors enhance startup formation, scale, and sustainability. Findings indicate that co-created infrastructure, funding mechanisms, and policy frameworks significantly influence ecosystem vitality. The study offers a strategic roadmap for optimizing public-private partnerships (PPPs) in entrepreneurship support structures.
