This deliverable presents the final policy recommendations from the BEYOND4.0 consortium on how regions or entrepreneurial ecosystems can be supported to deal with digital transformation and deliver inclusive growth. The recommendations have been formulated in discussion with stakeholders from twelve different ecosystems in six countries participating in our project. The policy recommendations are developed in several steps, based on three rounds of workshops. The recommendations were deducted from comparing the measures used in the different entrepreneurial ecosystems. The first round of workshops (2020-2021) compared recommendations at the level of each of the separate ecosystems. The second round of workshops (spring 2022) delivered a future perspective on entrepreneurial ecosystem development. Participants were asked for suggestions on how to steer future ecosystem policies to deal with the changing contexts using the two future ecosystem scenarios. The objective for the participants was to secure more desirable inclusive-growth futures. A particular aspect of this second round was that participants from the six ecosystems were paired to discuss the needed policy recommendations. The third round consisted of one workshop held at the EU level during the European Week of Regions & Cities (October 2022).
