Abstract: Our study analyses the contribution of Openlabs through the viewpoint of traditional actors of an innovation ecosystem. We developed a novel Decisional Pyramid model to analyse the data. The research method is based on semi-guided interviews with innovative companies and organisations in the European Metropole of Lille (France). The results show that Openlabs have complex and, often periodical if not occasional, relationships with the ecosystem. The contribution of Openlabs is mainly in strengthening the business incubation system. Furthermore, there appears to be a setting up of internalised processes based on Openlabs practices, methods and tools within the companies and organisations.
