Abstract

The purpose of this research is the development of theory on how industrial ecosystems can be driven by policy and government interventions, especially when motivated by the pursuit of “technological sovereignty” as political objective. Theoretical foundation of the research forms a literature review, which summarizes the existing prior research on how inter-organisational relationships, with ecosystems at its core, are affected by policy measures and government interventions. “Technological sovereignty” is introduced as concept, and the role of network constructs at the inter-organisational level as the driving force behind value co-creation developments is explored. There are industrial network activities between companies identified, such as ecosystems, value chains and platforms, which can be supported and promoted by policy initiatives in the areas of industrial, innovation and technology policy. Such approaches potentially increase a country’s technological sovereignty and might ultimately lead to greater prosperity.
