Abstract: Abstract Ecosystems have been explained in simple terms as connecting partners to help things work. They are therefore focused on enhancing the conversion of strategy to delivery. In the case of this chapter the focus is on how this works for manufacturing and how it might work better. Rosabeth Moss Kanter described an ecosystem as conveying the idea that “all the pieces of an economy come together in particular places and that their strength and interactions determine prosperity and economic growth” (2012). The priority is on creating the ability to link—ideas to enterprise, small and large businesses to each other, education to jobs and entrepreneurship—along with encouraging cross-sectoral collaboration. It is about developing a real and virtual place-based infrastructure to support economic growth.
