Abstract: While our comprehension on the configurations and dynamics of entrepreneurial ecosystems has advanced significantly, there remains a conspicuous gap in how localised phenomena shape transitions towards environmentally sustainable regions - particularly outside the scope of advanced nations. Accordingly, our research explores how entrepreneurial ecosystems affect the emergence of green entrepreneurship within a developing country context. The empirical setting comprises data from the State of São Paulo, Brazil for the period 2002-2019. Econometric estimations involved generalised estimating equations for count data in a panel dataset. Results highlight that entrepreneurial ecosystems for green entrepreneurship appear to strongly rely on research universities, innovation habitats and connections to global value chains. These findings contribute to policymaking processes looking to further connect the promotion of knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship with environmentally sustainable transitions within entrepreneurial ecosystems.
