The overall aim of the project is to bring forward perspectives on the value-creation logic of 5G technology-enabled innovation ecosystems, with a primary focus on a) mining and b) heavy machinery, and a secondary focus on c) the Partnership Programme ecosystems.

 

The following objectives detail the aim of the project:

​

• Map the value-creating logic of a) the mining ecosystem and b) the ecosystem for wireless heavy machinery and develop future scenarios for 5G-technology as enabler of ecosystems.

​

• Map the value-creating logic of c) the Partnership Programme ecosystems to explore business models and ecosystem best practices related to ecosystem formation and interaction practices, orchestration strategies, and ecosystem scalability.

​

• Identify and develop future business models and/or business model innovations of a) mining ecosystem and b) ecosystem for wireless heavy machinery, including ecosystemic business models enabled by 5G connectivity.

​

• Develop scenarios of a general ecosystem model for a range of ecosystems, including initial models of an “ecosystem of ecosystems” (combining ecosystems) within and between (where 5G/wireless connectivity is the common denominator).

​

• Propose scalability of the mining ecosystem (5G connectivity as value creator) and suggest transferability of best practices from the mining ecosystem to other/emerging ecosystems in industries.
