ResumoOpportunity-driven entrepreneurship is gaining traction in selected countries in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay). While the innovation system is characterised by low levels of public and private investment in research and development and limited university-business linkages, recent efforts from selected universities are sustaining the nascent entrepreneurial ecosystem and are putting knowledge transfer back on the education agenda. The OECD, the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and Banco Santander have joined forces to analyse eleven universities' contribution to innovation and entrepreneurship in selected countries. This study builds on previous work on the topic.
