Selecting, combining, and cultivating digital deep-tech ecosystems

Abstract

The area of interest is private-public partnerships and digital deep-tech ecosystems. This is framed with eco-system literature and system theory. The research question is: How to support exponential growth leveraged by digital disruptive technologies through selecting, combining, and cultivating digital deep-tech ecosystems within the digital disruptive domain? And more practical, how to orchestrate the innovation managers of these ecosystems? The point of departure for identifying digital deep-tech ecosystems is a Startup Genome report mapping Denmark’s position in the global startup ecosystem lifecycle. Though action research the contribution of this early stage research-in-progress is a digital deep-tech ecosphere canvas illuminating a private-public partnership’s contributions to the Danish ecosystems of gov-tech, fin-tech, health-tech, food-tech, robotics, and crea-tech. This is exemplified with the private-public partnership Digital Hub Denmark.
