The term 'business ecosystem' has become increasingly prominent in Brazil and Portugal with the rise of startup cultures in São Paulo and Lisbon. It reflects a shift from traditional hierarchical business models to more collaborative, networked approaches. In the USA, particularly in Silicon Valley and NYC, this term is fundamental to understanding tech industry dynamics and venture capital strategies. The concept emphasizes interdependence and mutual value creation rather than competition alone.
