“…In the face of recent global challenges, no economic sector can stay without continuous innovation and improvement of business activities implemented in line with modern requirements for sustainable development and meeting economic, environmental, and social requirements [1]. Global changes such as energy access, food security, climate change, carbon emissions, and the digital divide [1][2][3], resulting in the search for energy efficiency, sustainability, and security of energy supply, foster exploring innovative solutions [3] and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the research and development of products [4]. Scientists [2] recognize innovation as a major determinant of a region's or country's economic growth and progress.…”

Scientists [2] recognize innovation as a major determinant of a region's or country's economic growth and progress. Innovation and digital transformation support professionals and businesses in the development of new solutions and modifications of existing experiences, processes, and cultures to meet the ever-evolving market and human needs [5]; moreover, remarkable progress in technology makes people's lives easier [6].…”

The paper focuses on the bibliometric review of the Scopus database in the field of innovation ecosystem development, aiming to reveal the key trends in this fast-growing area of interdisciplinary research in terms of different quantitative and qualitative parameters. The bibliometric analysis followed PRISMA protocol guidelines for finding and extracting relevant scholarly papers based on the selected national, institutional, demographic, and scientific variables. The PRISMA procedure resulted in 401 selected open-access articles published on the topic of innovation ecosystem development from 2013 to 2023. The key findings indicate that research on innovation ecosystem development has seen late growth, which is a sign of still underexplored fields for potential pioneers. Researchers and institutions from the Nordic countries and the UK are most active as far as publications on innovation ecosystem development are concerned. However, researchers from the USA, Australia, and the UK dominate the citation records. Research collaborations help increase productivity and citation levels. The most cited articles fall into 4 clusters based on citations: innovation, smart tourism, digitalization, and entrepreneurship. Future research synergies can also be envisaged with the domains of digitalization, sustainable development, and the smart environment.
