Abstract
The current paper aims to investigate what barriers sustainable entrepreneurs face when setting up their business, and how they can be overcome in the context of Fryslân, the Netherlands. Enabling these entrepreneurs to conquer such barriers marks a step towards a stronger, more sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem, or sustainable valley. Similarly, it will help the province in reaching its circularity goals, while stimulating sustainable entrepreneurial activity. Each entrepreneurial ecosystem has its own, unique characteristics, and studying those of the province of Fryslân results in a better understanding of real-life situations and practices, thereby increasing existing empirical knowledge of entrepreneurial ecosystems and their respective barriers. Semi-structured interviews with both entrepreneurs and essential ecosystem actors indicate that the first steps towards a stronger, more successful ecosystem have been undertaken. Nonetheless, the province of Fryslân still has a long way to go in order to become a true sustainable valley.
