Entrepreneurial ecosystems are increasingly gaining traction as influential mechanisms that can enable entrepreneurial behaviour. In this regard, much work has been done with ambition to describe their key attributes and allay how we can successfully engage in their construction. As beneficial as contributions are, the discipline is at a point of inflection. A necessity exists to develop a strong theoretical base to ensure future work remains coherent and systematically consistent. The current paper attempts to begin the much-needed theoretical groundwork through focusing on one core aspect of the entrepreneurial ecosystem; culture. As a collective commonality of perspective towards how entrepreneurship is experienced and understood, culture has a lot to offer both in terms of theoretical and practical input. With this, a multi-level framework is introduced based on the concept of “cultural entrepreneurial ecosystem services” that embrace the dynamic interplay of various cultural ecosystem components. The framework developed has been designed to parsimoniously organise, clearly communicate, and efficiently capture, these services and their derived benefits.

企业家生态系统越来越受到人们的关注，因为它是可以促进企业家行为的有影响力的机制。在这方面，已经进行了很多工作，以期描述它们的关键属性并减轻我们如何成功参与其构建的工作。与贡献一样有益，该学科正处于一个转折点。必须建立强大的理论基础，以确保未来的工作保持连贯和系统一致。本论文试图通过关注企业家生态系统的一个核心方面来开始急需的理论基础。文化。作为关于如何体验和理解企业家精神的集体共有观点，文化在理论和实践投入方面都可以提供很多东西。有了这个，根据“文化创业生态系统服务”的概念引入了一个多层次的框架，该框架包含了各种文化生态系统组成部分的动态相互作用。所开发的框架旨在简化组织，清楚地传达和有效地捕获这些服务及其衍生收益的过程。
