Abstract

City manufacturing (CM) is a key concept in smart sustainable cities. City multifloor manufacturing clusters (CMFMCs) are an integral part of large urban areas. Although smart sustainable CMFMCs attract growing attention, a major research gap remains. It concerns how different actors drive innovation within their supply chain ecosystems (SCEs). To address this gap, this paper examines the SCE of a CMFMC and knowledge management (KM) mechanisms of open innovation (OI), considering energy conservation (EC) policies. This qualitative study expands the understanding of the spatial configuration and key actors of the SCE of a CMFMC. It also analyses the role of the University Centre for Projects and Innovation (UCPI) as a physical orchestrator. The UCPI fosters innovation activity through KM based on OI and EC. Our findings contribute to the SCE literature by emphasizing the potential of its key actors. We show that an integrated approach to KM based on OI and EC enhances innovation in CMFMCs. This supports the sustainable development of smart cities.
