Innovation Eco-Systems:
A European Perspective

Transformation and innovation are critical agenda for the public sector if it is to keep abreast of the dynamic changes in socio-economic-political realities of nations. The changing domestic and global landscapes make it imperative for governments and their agents to continually reinvent itself to remain relevant in facilitating the socio-economic growth of the nation. Until late 2019 the advent of the knowledge economy and the arrival of Industry 4.0, has dominated the public and private sector thinking. The subsequent COVID 19 pandemic has thrown a huge challenge to the government of all nations. The scale and the complexity of the emerging issues in the handling the pandemic demand new ways of delivering the necessary public services to sustain the socio-economic life of nations. The scale and nature of the challenges that governments face today require responses that go beyond simply incremental improvements and towards radically shifting the gears of government, towards empowering individuals to achieve outcomes and not just delivering processes. Innovation Ecosystem can be thought of as a system of mechanisms to align goals, allocate resources and assign decision-making authority for innovation, across the organization and with external parties.

He extended the Eco-Tuning program to electronic controlled and direct injection engines and as well to common rail engine technologies. Alexander registered a couple of patents and technical rights as a result of his research projects. In general, there were converted more than 10.000 engines with conversion kits produced by ELSBETT.
