Abstract: The research aims to systematise governance characteristics of innovation ecosystems (IE) through an integrative literature review from SciELO, Scopus, and WOS since there is little research discussing governance applied to IE. The following categories emerged from the content analysis: governance approach; actors and roles; the relationship among actors; coordination mechanisms; common objective and value cocreation; goals and evaluation. The results show that governance is approached from different theoretical lenses, with the predominance of literature on network governance. There is also an emphasis on the orchestration concept. Furthermore, results suggest that IE governance is related to practices that align actors with roles and responsibilities oriented to common objectives, leading to value creation. The involvement of actors who collaboratively develop trust and capabilities, share knowledge and information, and generate innovations, technologies, and solutions, stands out. These collaborations may be organic and self-organised or deliberate and orchestrated.
