How firms realign to tackle the grand challenge of climate change: An innovation ecosystems perspective

Lukas Falcke, Ann‐Kristin Zobel, Stephen Comello · 2023 · Journal of Product Innovation Management

Summary. This study examines how established electric utilities and clean-tech startups collaborate in innovation ecosystems to address climate change. Analyzing 10 utilities and 57 startups across pilot projects, the researchers identify three ecosystem configurations that drive climate impact: incumbent-led digital platforms, device complementors that enable customers, and new orchestrators. These configurations succeed by improving resource efficiency, enhancing infrastructure flexibility, and enabling better information sharing.
