João J. Ferreira, Magnus Klofsten and David Urbano along with their contributing authors, analyse circular economy entrepreneurship (CEship) in depth in this book, exploring the process of seizing opportunities in the circular economy domain to achieve sustainability goals. Examining the challenges and successes of developing CEship ecosystems across diverse geographical contexts, they discuss lessons learned and identify important future trends in the field. Chapters focus on the importance of collaborative relationships and local adaptation, as well as the role of government policies. They systematically review sustainable entrepreneurship, focusing on institutional and ecosystem factors, the challenges for circular ventures, and the complexities of growing these programs and paths to achieve success. Authors shed light on the specificities of CEship ecosystems and provide insights into effective strategies through case studies, such as the smartphone market, universities, and the Spanish town of Cheste, to show fostering CEship in different regions. Circular Entrepreneurship Ecosystemsis a vital read for students and academics in business, economics, management and sustainability. It will also be beneficial to entrepreneurs, business support actors and policymakers.
