What are the characteristics of unbounded entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) and how do they impact knowledge spillover entrepreneurship? In this new #openaccess article, authors David Audretsch (Indiana University Bloomington; Universität Klagenfurt), Antje Fiedler (The University of Auckland), Ben Fath (The University of Auckland), and Martie-Louise Verreynne (The University of Queensland) challenge the notion of spatially bounded exogenous EEs by unpacking geographically “unbounded” entrepreneurial ecosystems (UEEs).
