This article examines the phenomenon of ecosystemic fusion within entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs), which has yet to be studied in depth. This is a topic that forms part of the evolutionary trend in EEs. By using the concept of ecosystemic ambidexterity, the article explores the mutual adaptation of at least two entrepreneurial ecosystems during different stages of their respective life cycles: juxtaposition, complementarity, dispersion, and symbiosis. To observe and analyse this phenomenon, the researcher was embedded within the phenomenon by using an auto-ethnographic and multilevel approach, which provided a comprehensive understanding of ecosystemic evolutions over an extended period.
