~80% of the Postdocs hold short-term contracts (<2 yrs)
~15% of the Postdocs secure a tenure position (in the US)
an increasing fraction end up in nonacademic or non-research careers that do not require the years of advanced research training provided by the postdoctoral position. (NIH 2014)
~80-90% of master students persue doctoral studies in chemistry
(GDCh, 2014)

Common set of goals and objectives
shared set of knowledge and skills
innovation ecosystem model the economic [...] relationships that are formed between actors or entities whose functional goal is to enable technology development and innovation.
biological ecosystem is a complex set of relationships among the living resources, habitats, and residents of an area, whose functional goal is to maintain an equilibrium sustaining state.
Ecosystems provide resources; and you might want to know how to access them.

Thinking in ecosystems is nothing new for big industry
Digitalization changed many ecosystems, as it integrates new actors, e.g., customers
Many ecosystems are dominated by central actors: the hub platform
e.g., Apple AppStore, Google Maps, Facebook, Intel Microprocessor, USB, Pfizer's Biotech, Bayer Incubation Programs
beyond the buzz word

digitalization has been coined to describe the manifold sociotechnical phenomena and processes of adopting and using these [digital] technologies in broader individual, organizational, and societal contexts.

access to intellectual property and know-how
enhanced financing opportunities
skilled team members, and partners who have the ability and willingness to work in a highly scalable business

More entrepreneurs, create platforms hubbased ecosystems

Let others create added value on your technology
Ecosystem partners are competitors and collaborators (enablers of innovation)
Sharing resources ( knowledge, technology, assets) may inhibit risks
Case - using material as a hub
Ecosystem are industry agnostic; so are all most startups

Ventures mostly compete with a global market, not the local ecosystem (high willingness to share resources with other startups,
just visit a co-working space once)
