Abstract

Purpose: to analyze the entrepreneurship education ecosystem of a Brazilian public teaching and research institution.  Methodology: case study of the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG), according to the following stages: survey in 2017, participant observation in 2018 and another survey in 2019. Findings: the analysis (which embraces the policies, structure, resources, actors and culture dimensions) indicates the configuration of the main entrepreneurship education ecosystem components and their possible consequences on the institution, thus showing the need for institutionalizing educational processes that comprise entrepreneurship in curriculum, co-curricular and research activities, as well as making available resources and structures that contribute to actors’ engagement and to the entrepreneurship culture development. Theoretical/methodological contributions: this paper advances the understanding of entrepreneurship education ecosystems, by proposing methods triangulation for the application of the framework of analysis, and contributes by analyzing a unique teaching and research institution, relevant for the complexity of its institutional design and for the orientation towards technological education. Originality/value: this paper (a) identifies possible analytical and suggestions for intervention, based on the interactions of the Triple Helix, in order to develop entrepreneurship education ecosystems, thus advancing the literature, and (b) approaches the teaching and research institution as the unit of analysis itself (and not the territory), therefore demonstrating an alternative to traditional research in entrepreneurship ecosystems. Practical implications:  suggestions for decision-making on institutional policies and for increasing participation in actions in the territory are made, which can be put into practice to favor entrepreneurship education ecosystems of other institutions.
