Abstract [en]

This chapter explores the initiative The Yes Way (TYW) as a potential catalyst for inclusive change in the Swedish entrepreneurial ecosystem. The initiative aims to support diversity, equality and inclusion among Swedish business promoters, by offering programs and tools with guidance, knowledge and methods. TYW is studied with the aim of advancing the understanding of the prospects of entrepreneurial ecosystems becoming more inclusive regarding gender, ethnicity, disability and age, through orchestrated measures. The results show that a central mechanism for inclusive change in TYW is the creation of institutional clearings, where participating business promoters are orchestrated in contact zones where they meet, clash and grapple in view of asymmetrical power relations. This enables them to take part, apply and reflect on knowledge and methods for inclusive business support, while also forcing them to navigate asymmetrical power relations, resistance toward change and different approaches to gender in innovation.
