Abstract
Integrated solutions, business ecosystems and platform economy are becoming the norm in the transport sector. To gain entry to existing markets or to stay relevant, innovation ecosystems are a way for companies to collaborate towards a shared vision of the future and benefiting from complementary skills and products. This paper presents experiences and lessons learned from the building process of four co-funded joint research projects aiming for sustainable business ecosystems: Living Lab Bus (LLB), Value Added Mobility Services (VAMOS!), SmartTram and IoT Traffic Environment Management (ITEM). These projects utilise a triple helix (public-private-research) approach and the main research-funding instrument aimed at creating new business and international growth in Finland. We describe the process for initiating co-funded innovation ecosystems and identifying value adding research activities to support the various business and development needs. The results can be used as guidelines for tasks and challenges to tackle when building innovation ecosystems.
