This study analyzes the contextual frameworks of existing entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) models through a systematic bibliometric analysis of 684 Scopus-indexed publications from 2000 to 2023. Using VOSviewer, the research uncovers key themes like informality, necessity-driven entrepreneurship, digital adaptation, and alternative finance, ultimately refining current EE models and offering policy guidance aligned with SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).
