Abstract: This paper focuses on the Tuscany’s innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Life Sciences. We pay attention to innovative startups and SMEs within more consolidated entrepreneurial fabrics, where large companies have a greater role compared to the typical production sectors of the region. We highlight the role of triple and quadruple helix relationships for innovation, therefore not only between companies, but also between these and research actors, levels of governments, and non-governmental organizations. The features of a dynamic regional ecosystem are thus outlined. Elements of relative weakness also emerge compared to other Italian regions. Finally, we consider policies supporting the development of this ecosystem and some prospects for related in-depth studies and research.
