INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS: A SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ANALYSIS

Ricardo Santos Fenner

Resumo


The aim of this article is to systematize the discussion regarding the actors of the innovation ecosystem and their interactions. The research method adopted is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The databases consulted were Web of Science and Scopus, and the articles analyzed correspond to publications from 2018 to 2022. The data analysis techniques applied were bibliometric analysis and content analysis. Based on the developed framework, the actors of the innovation ecosystem are categorized into seven groups: ideation, investors, research and development (R&D), support and related organizations, industries, startups, and society.This study aims to contribute to the literature on the innovation ecosystem and its actors by examining their roles and interactions. Through the SLR, it was possible to construct a framework comprising seven actor groups. The descriptive analysis revealed similarities among the published articles, indicating shared themes of interest across research groups. Moreover, the author analysis identified that many researchers tend to work independently, possibly due to geographic constraints or thematic differences. The study also highlights evidence of cross-national collaborations among authors from different countries.
