 versity-based accelerator: drivers\, structure and ecosystem orchestrati
 on dynamics\n\nAbstract:\n\nThis paper explores the creation and develop
 ment process of an accelerator by a European business university\, inves
 tigating the factors that led the university to found its own accelerato
 r and that guided its set up process in terms of choice of focal activit
 ies and governance structure\, as well as the mechanisms through which i
 t creates value for its internal and external ecosystem. Relying on an i
 n-depth case study approach\, we conducted several interviews with membe
 rs of the accelerator\, key university stakeholders and external partner
 s. Our empirical evidence points to the existence of both internal and e
 xternal drivers that led to the emergence of the university accelerator 
 and suggests that its operating and governance structures were strategic
 ally designed to leverage the university’s internal strengths and resour
 ces. It also underscores the key roles played by the top management of t
 he university and by the internal champion in aligning views\, building 
 consensus\, and negotiating solutions in this process. Finally\, it reve
 als how by strategically orchestrating the relationships with internal a
 nd external stakeholders a university accelerator can successfully balan
 ce the need of creating value for both the university and the broader ec
 osystem in which it operates.\n\nMonica Masucci is a Senior Lecturer  (A
