Abstract

This paper analysis the emergence of asset-intensive ecosystems. These ecosystems have been largely overlooked in the literature despite their potential contribution to sustainability transition. The paper presents four inherent characteristics of these ecosystems- supply and demand uncertainty, capital intensive, prone to technological lock-in and geographically anchored. It argues that these characteristics strongly influence how these ecosystems emerge. Using the case of the emergence of a regional ecosystem around hydrogen mobility, this paper shows that processes of ecosystem emergence are influenced by two dimensions: a temporal dimension and a spatial dimension. It also discusses a key dilemma for these emerging ecosystems which is to juggle between path creation and path dependence.
