Abstract: The relationship between innovation ecosystems (IEs) and entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs), particularly in peripheral regions (PRs), is understudied. Our aim is to explore the attributes of EEs in PRs and their influence on IE outcomes (i.e. synergies, innovations, and value co-creation). Specifically, we established a framework of 16 attributes grouped into cultural, social, and material categories and highlighted some of the strengths and weaknesses of EEs in PRs. We then used this framework for Champagne-Ardenne, a French PR, through a qualitative study of 15 key stakeholders in EEs. Results indicate that of the 16 attributes, 4 have two main positive effects (entrepreneurial success stories and local leadership and governance) and two main negative effects (stakeholder power imbalance and precarious human capital) on IE outcomes. The remaining attributes show mixed effects on IE outcomes. We suggest that entrepreneurs and policymakers improve IE outcomes by considering the specific impact of these attributes.
