This study examines the implementation of the Pentahelix collaboration model in accelerating digital startup growth within the Malang region (Malang Raya), Indonesia. Through a qualitative case study involving 12 key informants, the research investigates how formal and informal institutional factors shape stakeholder roles and collaborative dynamics in the regional startup ecosystem. Findings suggest that successful stakeholder collaboration requires balancing formal institutional frameworks with informal social networks and cultural practices specific to the region. The research identifies three critical success factors for effective implementation: institutional alignment between governmental policies and local needs, stakeholder synergy across the five Pentahelix domains and regional technological and infrastructural readiness. Based on these findings, the study proposes a contextually modified Pentahelix model to enhance the National Movement of 1000 Digital Startups and HACK4ID programme initiatives to better address Malang Raya’s unique conditions. This study contributes to stakeholder theory by illuminating how institutional contexts influence collaborative governance in emerging digital entrepreneurship ecosystems while providing actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners and ecosystem builders seeking to foster regional innovation through structured multi-stakeholder collaboration frameworks
