There is a lot of talk about the innovation ecosystem these days.
It's a cute metaphor, but recent work by my research group at Callaghan Innovation suggests the innovation ecosystem is more than just a pair of buzzwords. Nature may, in fact, have a thing or two to teach us.
To see why, think about a natural ecosystem. In a forest, for example, plants use a variety of strategies to compete for water, sunlight and nutrients.
