Abstract: Abstract Many regions have attempted to emulate Silicon Valley’s success in economic growth stimulated by technology entrepreneurship. Some of these efforts have shown good results, some are ongoing and remain promising, and others have been short-lived. This chapter will present cases and advance hypotheses about the sustainability/persistence of regional technology entrepreneurship development initiatives. Where other chapters explored the critical success factors for aspiring technoregions, the present chapter focuses on the initiative process itself, and the mechanisms that launch it and sustain it.
