ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC POLICY AREAS AND HUMAN RESOURCES IN AN ENTREPRENEURSHIP ECOSYSTEM

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze the performance of the Public Consortium for the Development of Alto Paraopeba - CODAP in Minas Gerais and of the teaching and research institutions of the region in order to stimulate activities that allow economic diversification. The literature on the entrepreneurial ecosystem was used as the theoretical basis. The methodology was qualitative in nature, based on documental analysis and 10 interviews with CODAP actors and teaching and research institutions. For the organization of the data, the software Nvivo was used, and content analysis was performed for data interpretation. When verifying the actions of CODAP and the educational and research institutions for the development of the region, it was verified that these have the potential to develop a business environment conducive to the creation of companies and that this ecosystem could contribute to the diversification of the local economy, making the region less dependent on mining activities.
