From the perspective of innovation management, the orchestration of
an innovation ecosystem is one of the most essential aspects to ensure the
realisation of the value for the ecosystem members within the ecosystem
emergence process. However, the current understanding of ecosystem
emergence and the role of an orchestrator during the process is relatively
limited. Based on the case analysis of an innovation ecosystem, we provide
new empirical evidence on the emergence process and the role of an
orchestrator and the local innovation policy. In the case study of a water
management ecosystem, we will present how it has evolved since the 1980s
and what have been the key phases, the key decisions, and the outcomes
resulting in its current state. Based on the analysis, we see that both ecosystem
orchestration as well as the regional innovation policy can drive value capture
during the emergence of an ecosystem.
