Abstract
Interconnectedness of the infrastructure and national economic development strategies have been touched upon throughout this book, but it must be reiterated that economic strategies cannot be implemented without entrepreneurs. Thus, interconnectedness of entrepreneurs and infrastructure becomes obvious. Although numerous scholars (Samli 2009) have alluded to the influence of local or national cultural values on economic development, it is likely entrepreneurs who will be the key drivers of new and emerging infrastructures. If, in the near future, infrastructure drivers are entrepreneurs, it is necessary to understand entrepreneurship before it can be connected to infrastructuring. In other words, without entrepreneurs nothing will happen, but entrepreneurship cannot emerge and function successfully without infrastructures. In this chapter, we discuss entrepreneurship in general and connect it to the infrastructure system.
