Abstract

This chapter explains the role of expatriates for innovation spaces. Special consideration therein is given to a sub-set of expatriates: expat-preneurs, an intersection of two groups: expatriates and entrepreneurs. This typically highly innovative group of individuals is analyzed from various points of view, linking this research to concepts such as entrepreneurial personality, team diversity or social capital. These concepts help explain why this ecosystem of expat-preneurs seems to be capable of producing such innovative outcomes and at the same time link to some of the challenges, expatriates in general and expat-preneurs in particular are facing. The practical implementation of such ecosystems, also referred to as innovation spaces, is described on the examples of one outstanding expat-preneur hub: Singapore. Based on this example, the importance of optimal circumstances is discussed.
