The Business Ecosystems Game, developed in collaboration with the Eindhoven University of Technology, is an advanced simulation played in more than 20 countries across business and education sectors. It provides a comprehensive introduction to innovation ecosystems, focusing on microfoundations of creative leadership and collaborative innovation, firm-level processes, strategies for leveraging ecosystems, and macro-level system dynamics of innovation. Do you believe you can drive innovation and create value by mastering the dynamics of innovation ecosystems?

Key theories: Innovation Ecosystems, Creative Leadership, Collaborative Innovation, Firm-Level Processes, Ecosystem Leveraging Strategies, Macro-Level System Dynamics, Open Innovation, Entrepreneurial Ecosystems, Sectoral Ecosystems.

Objective: In contrast to other games, this simulation also requires the group as a whole to increase the effectiveness of the ecosystem they’re all in. It starts off as a battle but changes into a collaborative game to focus on the nature of ecosystem collaboration.
