Entrepreneurship and innovation are key drivers of sustainable economic development as well as convergence (high quality growth). Therefore, understanding "what works" and "what fails" in the local as well as in the regional socio-economic context is the key for aspiring entrepreneurs as well as intra-preneurs (all the rest of us).
