Ecosystems in Action

Practices from the Field
This series of instructional briefs shares practical examples of entrepreneurial ecosystem building.
Inspired by sessions at the ESHIP Summit, each brief focuses on a single policy, program, or practice, and shares the story of how the practice was implemented in a community from the perspectives of community leaders. Combining storytelling with ecosystem building principles outlined in the Ecosystem Building Playbook v3.0, the briefs share tangible ideas and insights learned through implementation.
The series is designed for and informed by practitioners, to help one another build skills and add ideas and tools to their ecosystem building repertoire.
