INNOVACIÓN Y EMPRENDIMIENTO

This article of reflection analyzes how the Red Emprendedorismo e Innovación en América Latina (Emprendesur) boosts joint work by all actors committed to developing regional or ecosystems for enterprise and innovation with an emphasis on education and training for enterprising individuals. Based on the well-known formulation of the entrepreneurial ecosystem proposed by David Isenberg of Babson College, the article defends the idea of how human capital and cultural domains are at the core of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. It argues that the human capital and cultural domains are at the center of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Their nature and the quality of the interactions between them, and in relation to the other surrounding domains, are responsible for generating or failing to generate the desired durable enterprise. The article concludes by proposing to update the Isenberg formulation for application in the Latin American context and advance in the conceptualization of durable entrepreneurial ecosystems that actively link education, enterprise and innovation using a new approach that must be created by all.
