We define innovation ecosystems as complex structures formed by the interaction of the participating community within an environment. A healthy ecosystem is one, which participants can thrive and grow, it self-regulates and adapts as the market needs evolve.

The environment is core markets where the community coexist and the adjacent markets from which know-how is shared. The structures are the linkages within communities and environments.
