The recent widespread interest of policy in entrepreneurial ecosystems has been complemented by a burgeoning academic research output. This research to date may be broadly categorized as focusing on place, actors, governance, and evolution. Of these groupings, evolutionary processes have been paid least attention despite their centrality to a dynamic ecosystem phenomenon that evolves from an origin through processes of growth, adaptation, and resilience. To redress this imbalance, we frame a future research agenda on evolutionary processes of entrepreneurial ecosystems. Foremost amongst these are the competing lens for the evolutionary processes, the appropriate and evolving geographic scope and boundaries of the ecosystem, and the evolving visible or invisible modes of governance. Methodologically, we call for greater use of longitudinal studies of such evolutionary processes.

最近对企业生态系统政策的广泛兴趣已得到蓬勃发展的学术研究成果的补充。迄今为止，这项研究可大致归类为关注地点，参与者，治理和演变。在这些类别中，尽管进化过程​​居于动态的生态系统现象的中心，但这些进化过程却很少受到关注，该生态系统现象从起源演变为增长，适应和复原力的过程。为了纠正这种不平衡，我们制定了关于企业家生态系统进化过程的未来研究议程。其中最重要的是进化过程的竞争镜头，生态系统的适当和不断变化的地理范围和边界，以及不断发展的可见或不可见治理模式。从方法上讲
