This document presents a conceptual model of how Policy Makers can collaborate with Businesses and academia to support national innovation ecosystem. The model is derived from a comparative study of various collaborations the UK and Europe wide that involved various combinations of public, private, and non-profit organisations pursuing a variety of service objectives. The study draws on the literature of interorganizational networks, management information systems, business-academia collaboration and organizational behaviour to devise a preliminary model of how such collaborations form and operate. The case study data are then compared to the preliminary model and a revised, more robust and dynamic model is presented which more closely fits the case experiences across various service types, project structures, and national settings.
