What is an innovation ecosystem and how it works

Open innovation ecosystems are hubs where companies, experts, startups, … meet to develop new products, services or business models. An ecosystem may be promoted by one or several organizations (sponsors) and its subject is strategic to its members.

An innovation ecosystem allows its sponsors to collaborate with experts, startups, and SMEs to identify opportunities and co-develop, prototype and validate new tech solutions. The ecosystem sponsors find synergies by joining forces, e.g. to attract the most relevant startups from your sector.

One or several companies can either sponsor and build an ecosystem or join an existing one as members. An ecosystem is built around a strategic topic for its sponsors and members. An ecosystem is a powerful tool to support strategic innovation by building and establishing long term partnerships among the sponsors and members.

Every ecosystem built on ennomotive`s platform reuses the community of our general engineering ecosystem, with over 20,000 members. Additionally, ennomotive provides services to scale up the members network according to needs
