ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEMS AND PUBLIC POLICIES IN REDUCING REGIONAL, RACIAL AND GENDER INEQUITIES IN BRAZIL

In this editorial, an intersectional perspective is adopted as the key analytical approach, as proposed by Crenshaw (1989), by highlighting that inequalities cannot be understood in isolation but rather through their overlap and articulation. This means recognizing that inequalities in Brazil are not homogeneous: they vary according to the position individuals occupy at the intersection of territory, race, and gender. Understanding these intersections is crucial for designing policies that address the diverse realities that make up the country.
