I am interested in building manufacturing ecosystems, these are the B2B environments where firms cooperate and compete at the same time. Consequently, the interest expands upon what are the actors in these ecosystems? In the UK, these are multitier suppliers to OEMs. Another question is how to support these starting ecosystems? So we have a topic of business model innovation. Finally, what is the impact of these ecosystems on the economy? This brings sustainability and the public good agenda.
