Abstract
The entrepreneurship ecosystem of EM Lyon Business School in 2010 is the culmination of more than 25 years of experience in entrepreneurship education and training. The result is a community of teachers, researchers, students, alumni, entrepreneurs, business leaders, administrative staff and managers committed to the diffusion of an entrepreneurial mindset. The entrepreneurial drive and expertise of the school's human resources have played a considerable role in the creation of this ecosystem. The French business environment and education system have also shaped its emergence and growth. Active engagement with the business sector and the acquisition of appropriate funding have helped the school fuel the development of its ecosystem.
