The relationship between innovation ecosystem and bioeconomy: A bibliometric review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.5585/2025.26936Keywords:
innovation ecosystem, green economy, sustainable development, bioeconomyAbstract
Objective: the bioeconomy emerges as an innovative and sustainable approach to face the various global challenges related to food security, climate change and the use of natural resources. The Quintuple Helix model includes environmental concerns and emphasizes transforming society and the current economic system to become more sustainable. Therefore, this article aims to analyze how these themes are related in international literature.
Methodology: bibliometric research in the Scopus database that brought together 82 publications.
Originality/Relevance: identification of the relationship between concepts is essential, as innovation ecosystems play a crucial role in the promotion and development of the bioeconomy, by boosting research, development and adoption of innovative solutions that sustainably use available biological resources.
Main Results: as a result it was possible to identify the main keywords, being green economy; sustainability development; bioeconomy; innovation and sustainability. Furthermore, the most cited authors are Laurens Klerkx and David Rose and the countries with the highest number of publications are China, Germany and the United States. The results also indicate that there are several clusters in the world researching innovation ecosystems and relating this topic to the bioeconomy, whose content has a field of research that can be explored.
Technical/methodological contributions: the results obtained from the bibliometric review make it possible to analyze scientific productivity through the quantitative study of publications, providing an overview of current affairs and trends related to the topic of study.
Social/management contributions: synthesize and organize existing knowledge on the topics researched. In addition to identifying gaps in the literature, it also allows stimulating innovation, through access to information for researchers, professionals and interested parties in general.
