Our findings show that besides entrepreneurs, established local and foreign firms, financiers, the regional government, accelerators, and research organisations play a pivotal role in the emergence of the ecosystem. Furthermore, supporting activities, local history, and available human and knowledge resources are some of the factors facilitating emergence.
