Abstract: In recent research, the concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems is considered to be as a driver of regional sustainable development. The authors discuss the relationship between entrepreneurial ecosystem development and the quality of life level in a region. Such issues are underexplored in the academic literature. The authors illustrate their assumptions with an empirical study of 85 Russian regions (subdivisions). The propositions arising from this analysis provide information to help academics, policymakers, government, and individual enterprises with a more adequate understanding of the practical mechanisms and tools that help trigger sustainable regional development through the support and development of entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Keywords: entrepreneurial ecosystems; innovation ecosystem; sustainable development; investments in fixed assets; quality of life; innovation; region.
