This article conceptualizes a multi-territorial entrepreneurial ecosystem (MTEE), i.e. an entrepreneurial ecosystem which covers several territories. This article aims to reply to the following research question: How do territories interact within a multi-territorial entrepreneurial ecosystem? This article is based on a single case study involving 29 semi-structured interviews with different types of actors from the three territories concerned, as well as secondary data. The results show that there are converging forces, such as the actions each territory performs individually for the MTEE to function and the actions all the territories perform collectively, and diverging forces such as different political visions among territories, favoring individual interests and the lack of knowledge of actors in other territories. This article contributes to the spatial perspective of entrepreneurial ecosystems by providing a definition and model of the MTEE, and showing the interactions between territories.
