UNITED PANGEA –ECOSYSTEM: DEFINITIONS Smart City Innovation Ecosystem An Ecosystem is a dynamic complex of plant, animal and micro-organism communities and their non-living environment interacting as a functional unit Ecosystems are the structures of the Biosphere (All life on Earth). Ecosystems determine the health of the whole planet system. In an ecosystem, each organism has its own particular niche or duty. Innovation ecosystem is the term used to describe the large number and diverse nature of participants and resources that are necessary for innovation. Aquatic Ecosystem Smart City Innovation Ecosystem United Pangea

UNITED PANGEA – developmental ECOSYSTEM APPROACH Faced with large-scale problems that include: global warming resource depletion poverty & humanitarian emergencies society needs new and more appropriate reasoning systems (paradigms/world views) In particular, these problems pose unfamiliar challenges to Solution Seekers operating in rural and disadvantaged communities with poor financial and infrastructural resources. Systems-oriented design (SOD) is widely recognised as one promising approach that can support design engineers and “Solutionaries” to solve these complex societal problems. Unlike other models, the Ecosystem design approach draws on and learns from nature and its networks of life (ecosystems) in which the principles of Cooperative,Synergistic Sustainability are embedded. United Pangea

UNITED PANGEA – DEVELOPMENTAL ECOSYSTEM APPROACH The ecosystem approach is a strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way. It is based on the application of appropriate scientific methodologies focused on levels of biological organization which encompass the essential processes, functions and interactions among organisms and their environment. It recognizes that humans, with their cultural diversity, are an integral component of ecosystems. United Pangea

UNITED PANGEA –ECOSYSTEM SERVICES Ecosystem services are the many and varied benefits that humans freely gain from the natural environment and from properly-functioning ecosystems , Such ecosystems include, for example,   agro-ecosystems, forest ecosystems, grassland ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems. Collectively, these benefits are becoming known as 'ecosystem services', and are often integral to the provisioning of clean drinking water, the decomposition of wastes, and the natural pollination of crops and other plants.

DIGITAL innovation ecosystems Digital ecosystems Digital Ecosystems are customer-centric networks through which products and services are offered by various players. ICT Platforms At the heart of ecosystems are platforms—systems that make integration easy. Large ecosystem players such as Amazon and Google operate several ecosystems (centred around specific customer needs) in parallel . Securing the Customer Interface By securing the customer interface, ecosystem implementers avoid parts of the traditional, more costly “value chain / supply chain”. 2025 McKinsey’s research suggests that by 2025, 30 percent of global GDP will be represented by innovative digitally integrated ecosystems.
