The Mountain Ecosystems-based Adaptation program (EbA) is a collaborative initiative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) (through its implementing partner, the Mountain Institute (TMI) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Public Works and Nuclear Safety of the German Government (BMUB). In Peru, the programme is run by the Ministry of Environment of Peru (MINAM) and is implemented in the Nor Yauyos-Cochas Landscape Reserve (NYCLR), with support from the National Service for Protected Natural Areas (SERNANP, in Spanish). According to the literature, start-ups are underpinned by an ecosystem that consists mainly of the entrepreneur community: mentors, incubators, accelerators, shared services providers, angel investors, venture capital investors, universities, government support agencies, and links to other ecosystems. This focuses on the entrepreneurship ecosystem in order to offer an overview of the technology-based ecosystem status in Lima, Peru, based on start-up case studies and identifying elements in the development process of each of the start-ups studied.
