Abstract: This paper studies the competitive landscape in the developing Industry 4.0 ecosystem. Technology development and convergence within the ICT field has led to increased significance of technology platforms and ecosystems organizing around them. The question about the lead integrator, who will take the dominant position and capture the main value is of increased importance. The Industry 4.0 concept is extremely complex as combining so many technologies and potential stake holders. Utilizing technology platform analysis and value capture modeling, this paper sheds light on the strategic questions of the stake holders: Which kind of industry players have the biggest potential to capture the dominant platform player role and the biggest value in the forthcoming Industry 4.0 market? Which are the different opportunities and paths to be pursued by the industry players and service providers.
