Exploring the entrepreneurial ecosystem: Some local Canadian perspectives

Identifying each organization's connection and contribution to the entrepreneurial ecosystem helps to highlight the gaps and the support needed for a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem. New Brunswick has much work ahead to host a large striving entrepreneurial ecosystem: a place for innovation, entrepreneurship, and collaboration. The key players in the ecosystem could provide educational institutions with entrepreneurial support, such as resource opportunities that can support the growth of young entrepreneurs, generate networks, and ultimately provide mentorship opportunities. Sharing success stories of social enterprises with the community is important; social entrepreneurs hold the potential to solve complex social issues in the community and if they have the availability of a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem for support, the future for a stronger economy and society is distinctly possible.
