Exploring the spatialities of institutional entrepreneurship in Taipei’s FinTech industry
构建了制度创业空间性的分析框架，并用其研究台北金融科技产业，发现初创企业利用多重空间性参与制度变革，并采取双轨策略：既顺应国家金融体制以获取合法性，又通过本地和跨地项目网络建设金融科技场景。
This paper contributes to developing the spatiality of institutional entrepreneurship as an analytical framework and using the framework to explore the case of Taipei’s financial technology (FinTech) industry. It argues that FinTech start-ups leverage multiple spatialities to engage in strategic involvement with the four forms of institutional change. Meanwhile, Taipei’s FinTech industry displays a dual-track institutional entrepreneurship strategy: conforming with the state–finance regime to gain legitimacy by being in the FinTech space and building the FinTech scene by developing local and translocal project networks. These dual strategic–institutional practices are central to changing existing financial service institutions, markets and regulations in a latecomer city context.
