O empreendedorismo tem sido promovido como vetor estratégico de desenvolvimento, sobretudo em regiões periféricas e ultraperiféricas. Nos Açores, as políticas de incentivo procuram responder a constrangimentos estruturais como a dispersão geográfica, os custos de contexto e a reduzida escala do mercado. o presente artigo analisa criticamente o papel destas políticas no fortalecimento do ecossistema empreendedor açoriano, destacando medidas de capacitação, incubação, financiamento e inovação. A investigação assenta numa abordagem qualitativa, de base documental, com recurso a relatórios oficiais, programas de incentivo e literatura académica, complementada por uma análise comparativa com o arquipélago da Madeira e das Canárias. os resultados evidenciam progressos relevantes, nomeadamente no reforço das infraestruturas de suporte, na promoção da educação empreendedora e na modernização digital, mas também revelam limitações associadas à dependência de apoios públicos, ao escasso financiamento privado e às assimetrias territoriais. Conclui-se que a consolidação de um ecossistema empreendedor competitivo nos Açores dependerá da articulação entre políticas públicas, recursos endógenos e redes externas, potenciando inovação, internacionalização e coesão territorial.
Entrepreneurship has been increasingly promoted as a strategic vector for development, particularly in peripheral and outermost regions. In the Azores, public policies designed to support entrepreneurship aim to address structural constraints such as geographic dispersion, contextual costs, and limited market scale. This article provides a critical analysis of the role of such policies in strengthening the Azorean entrepreneurial ecosystem, focusing on capacity building, incubation, financing, and innovation. the study adopts a qualitative, a document-based approach, drawing on official reports, incentive programs, and academic literature, complemented by a comparative perspective with Madeira and the Canary Islands. the results highlight significant progress in strengthening support infrastructures, fostering entrepreneurial education, and promoting digital modernization. however, they also reveal persistent challenges, including dependence on public subsidies, limited private financing, and territorial asymmetries. It is concluded that consolidating a competitive entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Azores will require stronger integration between public policies, endogenous resources, and external networks, thus enhancing innovation, internationalization, and territorial cohesion.
