A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE NATIONAL START-UP ECOSYSTEM STRATEGIES OF THE MEMBER STATES WITHIN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA APPROACH

This paper focuses on national start-up ecosystem strategies in the European Economic Area and the area within the ecosystem towards which the strategy delivers the most. We have also analyzed the circumstances in which such a strategy occurs. Documents in English were identified for each state. The keywords "Start-up Ecosystem National Strategy" "Start-up Ecosystem National Manifesto", "Start-up Ecosystem National Whitepaper" were used for the data collection on Google in February 2022. We used the PRISMA methodology to narrow the total number of papers resulting from this study. A total of 5 countries have been identified to have such documents. We checked the distribution of each document in 6 areas relevant to the start-up ecosystem. We concluded that there is no trend at the European level. We could also conclude that the national start-up ecosystem strategy is a European phenomenon that appears where the first unicorn has high economic impact.
