Volume 3

The third volume presents three articles, which analyzed different aspects of Accelerators in Startup Ecosystems. Accelerators are institutions that provide start-ups with the opportunity to accelerate their development process considerably through intensive training over a short period of time.

The first article discusses the question to what extent accelerators influence the institutional framework in ecosystems as change agents. This is followed by the second article which deals with the aspect of social capital in combination with accelerators. Finally, the third article focuses on the role of private business accelerators in Bremen.
