ENTREPRENEURIAL & INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS
Why
"The creation of new ecosystems of entrepreneurship and innovation has a major impact on the future of the global economy"
!
As the economy opens up, the same is expected from organizations that want to remain edgy. Businesses are increasingly dependent on complex social interactions. That is why companies and society in general, are facing the challenge of creating new mechanisms to foster entrepreneurship (to create new companies and create jobs and wealth), innovation (to create competent and valuables business models and ways of doing things) and to be part of collaborative network systems. Education, companies or organizations are not isolated pieces, they belong to a system, in which cooperation and collaboration are the daily base. !
TZBZ & Mondragon Team Academy
TZBZ is an innovation process consultancy company operating within the fields of education and business, promoting and developing new business initiatives as well. !In education field we lead and design the creation and implementation of transversal learning ecosystems in which we apply Team Academy team coaching tools and methods, playing an active role in the enlargement of the Mondragon Team Academy new business units both nationally and internationally. !In the business field, through TZBZ Business Innovation, we foster organizational changes and we accelerate the design of new services or strategic lines for companies. !From our own experience as students/learners and as entrepreneurs, we totally see that startups, students and established companies need to be closer than ever. Not just spiritually, but physically, in order to learn together, create together and grow together. Giving each other a space where interaction is almost forced.

“We believe in creating ,developing and supporting entrepreneurial teams where learning is the main tool for growth and progress of the individual and the organization”
Mondragon Team Academy (MTA) is a global network of social innovation ecosystem labs made up of students and team-entrepreneurs born in 2007 within the Faculty of Business Studies of Mondragon Unibertsitatea. MTA applies the methodology used in TiimiAkatemia; a community of learners and team entrepreneurs that operates within the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences (Finland). The purpose of MTA is to transform (the environment) through team entrepreneurship, based on active learning and cooperative values. !In May 2014 MTA was a community of more than 500 team-entrepreneurs "learning by doing" around the world, and it aims to become an international community of entrepreneurship and team learning. !“If you want to see the future of education, come to Team Academy” Peter Senge (MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

Our concept: The Lasagna Model
The Lasagna Model ( MINN 2 , Tampere 2013) is conceived and designed for corporations and educational institutions that are willing to generate an ecosystem of entrepreneurship and innovation, while connecting and committing with the environment and the society, wanting also to generate new busineses , new knowledge and a new ways of making things happen. An environment in which new multidisciplinary, multi-cultural, and multigenerational projects are naturally encouraged, supported and grown according to the XXIst century business philosophy.
1. Center for innovation and entrepreneurship for entrepreneurs and start-ups!The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship will connect with different organizations, ideas, projects, initiatives, etc. positioning it as a neutral and open space, a border where innovations happen. This center will generate new ideas and new business projects incubated in its earliest stages. !2. Learning activity: university or learning centers (teaching and research)!From the University various advanced training programs, where innovation and entrepreneurship skills will develop cross development. Young students will participate in the activities of the Centre for Social Innovation and interact with entrepreneurs and residents in the same projects as well as with other companies in the same building, so that a natural osmosis between them occurs. !3. Innovative Companies!The third layer of the center will host the headquarters of innovative young companies that are in a more evolved than those hatch in the center of social innovation, new companies or large business groups in its infancy stage. We are talking about companies with few years of life, and, therefore, have already passed the first stages of launch and be in a new phase of development and growth.
The Lasagna Model concept is designed as a single project based on the interaction and complementarity three self-managed and self-sustaining activities.

The first prototype of our entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem is being implemented and developed in Bilbao. !BBF is an urban ecosystem of learning, innovation and entrepreneurship driven by Mondragon Unibertsitatea in strategic alliance with the INIT Group and Bilbao city hall. The aim of the project is to bring together in one place, under one integrated project, educational and innovative business initiatives in order to create conditions for learning, creativity and collaboration, promoting the development of new innovative business initiatives in strategic sectors for the city. !Successful innovative companies with several years of experience, along with executives from other companies (large and small) and entrepreneurs who are starting their new business ventures and university students of various nationalities who develop a process of innovative and entrepreneurial learning. The strategic combination of these realities generates a new scenario and reality for Bilbao and it´s surroundings. !BBF is already a reality. Currently, 23 companies, 60 students and more than 80 professionals are part of the community open to all society.

Key processes for building the ecosystem (Abaitua, Jon. 2013)
#Think Different
1 !ENTREPRENEURIAL TEAM
!!! At the origin of the process of creating an ecosystem
of innovation and entrepreneurship, is the creation of an entrepreneurial promotion team. People who conform this team must devote their time and knowledge with the essential values that should have an entrepreneurial team.
!! The goal of creating the community from
the start is to know the real need for all those agents who will form part of the ecosystem!
!! Through a collaborative process in which a
series of dynamic format organize regular meetings, ensures that the future members and users feel part of the project from the start. If entrepreneurs in the region see value in the project will add forward and take active part in the process.!
!
Since the beginning of the project and it´s progress, we must establish the guidelines and communication strategies both internally and externally.!
!! The media will be the speaker of the
activities of the ecosystem so it is important to define the specialized, regional and general media which must do participate and integrate in the community.
2 !BUILDING A COMMUNITY
3!COMMUNICATION. !IDENTITY & BRAND
!!!! The design of the space plays an
important role in the behavior of people positively encouraging collaborative work, since the spaces can be the tool to foster creative processes.!
!!
! !! It takes attitude and entrepreneurial
mindset. Such projects, for both technical and economic sustainability should be called "entrepreneurial projects". The project team, even if they belong to an organization, should have an entrepreneurial attitude and mindset , so the project performance is vital for them.!
!!! It is interesting to design and
establish mechanisms for measuring data relative to the center in order to display and collect statistics and data.!
!! Being a space for experimentation,
these data through a series of systematic metrics, give reason for the proposed model.!
