Ecosystems play a key role in tackling the challenges of cities. A city is too large and complex to put all players in one ecosystem. Therefore Smart Cities focus on understanding, activating, integrating, serving meaningful ecosystems aimed at a specific needs. It requires the right infrastructure, tools and methodology to get to know the stakeholders, their needs and objectives – Vlerick

The essence of an entrepreneurial ecosystem is its people and the culture of trust and collaboration that allows them to interact successfully. An ecosystem that allows for the fast flow of talent, information, and resources helps entrepreneurs quickly find what they need at each stage of growth. As a result, the whole is greater than the sum of its separate parts. – Kaufmann foundation
