| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Blue Economy (BE) concept has come to particular prominence for coastal Indian Ocean (IO) countries, as well as Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the region such as the Seychelles. Blue Economy entrepreneurship has emerged as a promising way to encourage sustainable economic growth. We developed an instrument for measuring Blue Economy entrepreneurship ecosystems (the network of resources and stakeholders that supports aspiring entrepreneurs). We applied this instrument to Seychelles, identifying local strengths and areas for improvement. This instrument has applicability beyond the Seychelles, and could be of further value for other countries hoping to encourage Blue Economy entrepreneurship. |
