Abstract
This chapter focusses on the influence of the local ecosystem on entrepreneurial intentions (EI) of entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs (in specific, higher education management students) of Beja (Portugal) and Huelva (Spain). The study explored the influence and support of the surrounding ecosystem on entrepreneurial initiative. Data were collected through a questionnaire from two samples of 184 entrepreneurs (100 from Huelva and 84 from Beja) and 205 business management students (107 from Huelva and 98 from Beja). In spite of the diversity of the existing structures and support, the evidence showed that, contrary to the needs of the socioeconomic sustainability of Beja and Huelva, the local ecosystems are not recognized as favourable or encouraging the EI. There are no articulated strategies between the different institutional supporting actors and the creation of a new business is perceived as a very difficult path.
