| 2026 | 2026: Knowledge-based regional development by university and regional entrepreneurial ecosystems. Permeability, boundaries and complementarities Citation: Butzin, A., Flögel, F., Meyer, K. & Rabadjieva, M. (2026): Knowledge-based regional development by university and regional entrepreneurial ecosystems. Permeability, boundaries and complementarities. IAT discussion paper, 2026 (01). Gelsenkirchen: Institute for Work and Technology, Westphalian University of Applied Sciences. https://doi.org/10.53190/dp/202601This paper discusses the interplay between university entrepreneurial ecosystems (UEE) and regional entrepreneurial ecosystems (REE) in knowledge-based regional development, focusing on their permeability, boundaries, and complementarities. Using qualitative data from 176 events attended by startups from UEE and REE in the German Ruhr region, the research reveals an asymmetric permeability: UEE startups frequently engage with REE events to access market knowledge and managerial skills, while REE startups rarely participate in UEE activities beyond recruiting graduates. Both ecosystems deliver similar types of entrepreneurial knowledge, such as managerial and funding insights, but differ in their emphasis. UEEs focus more on market insights linked to technology commercialisation, whereas REEs emphasise marketing knowledge reflecting closer market proximity. The findings highlight the REE’s nurturing role by providing practical support and market access for the UEE startups. The study suggests fostering greater inclusivity of UEEs to benefit a broader range of founders and recommends hybrid event formats combining UEE and REE resources to enhance regional innovation dynamics. university entrepreneurial ecosystems, regional development, knowledge transfer, entrepreneurial ecosystems | Document type: Internet document | Links / Downloads: |
