Abstract
Abstract:
The development of entrepreneurship which is a requirement for the commercialization
of academic findings in each society depends on many influencing factors. In this paper, these influencing
variables on the entrepreneurial ecosystem in IRAN (in general and with a special focus
on food technology) have been discussed. Furthermore, the ecosystem, and situations of the food
industry in Iran as well as the barriers to the development of entrepreneurship have been described.
After a review of the key success of succeeding countries, then, obstacles and approaches in Iran
have been described. Also, the method and manner of ecosystem development, as well as effective
components in the entrepreneurship ecosystem are introduced. Finally, the key success factors of
the entrepreneurial ecosystem and evaluation criteria are described. Both academic and food industries
may benefit from this study, especially start-ups, which want to start a business in this ecosystem
and similar ones. Based on previous experiences a questionnaire has been recommended for the
development of a new network, e.g. food technology network.
