ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze the impact of knowledge and socioeconomic dimensions on
entrepreneurial ecosystem dynamics when addressing the emergence of green and ‘traditional’
knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship (KIE). The methodological approach used in the study was
quantitative, using structural equation modeling. Our empirical analysis comprises data from 645
municipalities in the state of São Paulo and 1,372 companies participating in the Innovative
Research in Small Businesses (PIPE) program administered by the São Paulo Research
Foundation (Fapesp). Of these projects, 343 represent green KIE (25% of the total), and 1,029
are traditional KIE, thus allowing a sound comparative analysis. Results confirmed the positive
impact of knowledge and socioeconomic dimensions on entrepreneurial ecosystem dynamics.
Moreover, findings show a homogeneous pattern in this relationship for cities that do contain
green KIE and cities that do not. Hence, it does not seem necessary to promote different
ecosystems configurations in order to foster sustainable transitions in entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Rather, policies and initiatives targeting technological generation and diffusion in green
technologies can likely represent an effective transformational strategy to achieve environment-
friendly productive systems.
Keywords: green entrepreneurship; knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship; ecosystem dynamics;
