Description
This short paper explores building innovation platforms in the public sector, particularly in public healthcare, through an ecological lens. While existing research has mainly focused on the platform owner's role in orchestrating innovation, this study investigates the strategies used by public organizations and widens the net to analyse how a digital health platform’s complementing actors contribute towards innovation within the ecosystem. The paper further highlights the fundamental difference in market logic between public and private platforms. Using the case study of Helseplattformen, a public digital health platform in central Norway, the study aims to identify platform establishment strategies and ecosystem actor interactions that contribute to innovation emergence. The study contributes both theoretically and practically to digital platforms literature and provides guidance for decision-makers and project managers in the public sector who want to adopt or manage similar digital health platforms.
