Descripción
Sumario:In Uberlândia – MG, a movement from entities and technology-based companies culminated in the development of the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem – UberHub. The objective of this study was to identify the configuration, characteristics, performance of the agents involved, results, and future challenges of UberHub’s ecosystem. The research is exploratorydescriptive, qualitative, counting with a case study method and data collection through documentary research and 12 semi-structured interviews with representatives of ecosystem agents. In its current configuration, UberHub can be understood by the concept of the quadruple helix, although with significant results, it is still susceptible to the actions of specific individuals and suffers from mismatches between its institutional agents, in a state of imbalance. It became clear that the dynamics of interaction and leading roles change throughout the life cycle of an ecosystem in a non-linear and non-gradual way, affected by internal and external factors, making it possible to understand the ecosystem only by observing the effective participation and importance of its agents. Some suggestions were made for creating and improving actions and connections between agents.
