Resumo

In recent years, we have seen technology play an essential role in the way society relates to new products and services, driving economic and social progress. Entrepreneurship then appears as an activity that welcomes these new technologies and uses them in the best way for the development of organizations (Garud and Karnøe, 2003; Nambisan, 2017).

This article seeks to present a framework with the main theoretical and empirical contributions on technology in entrepreneurial ecosystems and their future paths. That is, with a focus on identifying theoretical contributions, it goes beyond the analyzes carried out by Bejjani; Göcke and Menter (2023), Cao and Shi (2021) and Maroufkhani; Wagner and Wan Ismail (2018).

Technology and innovation are considered essential elements for the success of entrepreneurship. Undoubtedly, technology has transformed the way companies work and are evaluated (Bailetti, 2012). However, it is still important to understand the dynamics and complexity of the present challenges, especially regarding the advancement of digitization in the entrepreneurial context (Giones and Brem, 2017).

The journal covers a wide range of topics, including business strategies, innovation, finance, internationalization, public policy, small business growth and performance. Therefore, it is possible to infer that since 2016, the journal has taken a great interest in technological issues involving entrepreneurial ecosystems. Based on the analyzed articles, it was possible to identify four categories of main theoretical and empirical contributions.

The systematic review on entrepreneurship ecosystems with a technological perspective clearly demonstrates the main elements of theoretical and empirical contributions to the theme. Through content analysis, four major categories were found that relate to technology within this type of ecosystem, considered an unprecedented contribution to the theme, they are: o Configurations and Structures o Role of Universities o Digital Transformation o Internationalization and Diversity
