Happy to share our paper "Entrepreneurs in residence at the nexus of Regional Economy and University Entrepreneurial Ecosystems" with Beldina Owalla, PhD and BingBing Ge has been accepted in Regional Studies, Regional Science (RSRS) (ABDC A). Entrepreneurs in Residence (EiRs), chosen by universities as exemplar entrepreneurs, provide potentially important conduits between the regional economy, University Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (UEEs) and entrepreneurs, leading us to explore how and why do EiRs and universities interact in relation to entrepreneurial ecosystems to enhance regional economy? Our qualitative study of a UK university case, conducted in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic which severely impacted many businesses’ access to resources, gives a particular temporal context to this research. It identifies accessing resources, building legitimacy and undertaking bridging activities as the three highest-level dimensions characterising EiR-University interactions, which have relevance for both the UEE and regional economy more widely, offering a framework for future EiR programmes. Many thanks to our editor Danny Soetanto, mentor David Pickernell and two reviewers, for their valuable comments. Also, we thank the University of Portsmouth (Bal Project Fund) and the wonderful EIR Team (Jaimes Harrington, Thierry Bridges, Pat Smith MA) for supporting this research. #entrepreneurialecosystem #regionaleconomy #COVID #resilience #university Link to the article: https://lnkd.in/dh4KJJmP
