Abstract: The technological entrepreneurship ecosystem is a complex set of components and relations that enable the creation and growth of new technology firms. This ecosystem should be clearly defined and evaluated in order to reach its proper establishment. The purpose of this research is twofold. The first is to propose the main components of technological entrepreneurship ecosystem (TEE) and the second is to present some important principles for developing a comprehensive measurement framework of this ecosystem. For the first aim, through the meta-synthesis method, we identified and analyzed 34 related sources that ended in twelve dimensions (governance, capital, culture, talent, etc.). For the second aim, we defined six criteria (complexity, type of measures, design method, etc.) and critically reviewed 18 principal measurement frameworks that can be associated with the TEE. The review implied specific features such as the need to cover all dimensions of the TEE, addressing both input and output indicators, and considering both opinion-based & fact-based measures for the TEE measurement framework.
