Navigating sustainable innovation: An exploratory study of entrepreneurial ecosystems for coastal regeneration Reflections on promoting best practices from the European project Bauhaus of the Seas Sails

This study explores the topic of entrepreneurial ecosystems for coastal regeneration by combining an analysis of relevant literature with the experiences lived within the European project Bauhaus of the Seas Sails, in particular relating to the development of a key framework called "Territorial Identity Card”, a tool designed to capture the essence of each coastal territory. By identifying ten key parameters common to the seven cities involved, this tool serves to guide the development of future strategies. Although the overall goal of the research is to define a sound strategy to promote sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems in coastal regions, this paper focuses primarily on the preliminary phase of the research, laying the groundwork for subsequent in-depth analysis. This working paper serves as a compass, charting the course for future research efforts to translate key insights into actionable strategies.
