Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This case narrates the story of the creation of a Finnish Cellulose Entrepreneurial Ecosystem and its emergence through a series of community-based phase transitions during the years 2013–2017. The case is explained by participants in the process who conducted and took part in a combination of more than 100 interviews and meetings. In the case, we explain the transition through phases of community: from a community of dreams through a community of inquiry towards a community of commerce, as the ecosystem emerges. The phases and transitions are characterised and driven by actors playing critical roles. These roles are identified in the phases along with the key processes that the actors lead and participate in. The implications of the case are that entrepreneurial ecosystems can be created and driven through a bottom-up, community-based approach, driven by forms of public finance, as opposed to the creation of a hub-centred, more top-down model of development, and further that an understanding of roles and microprocesses can contribute to the building, organising and coordinating of ecosystem development.
