Abstract: To date, it is not clear what knowledge ecosystems factors drive success in innovation. Also not clear are the elements modelling effective business and university relationships. Not surprising, specific to business innovation collaboration channels, scholars are calling into question the networks and modes of engagement between universities and businesses, i.e., they are asking what and how contextual factors within university-firm collaboration relationships contribute to success in business innovation? Hence, in this study, through a meta-synthesis of the literature, by focusing on the characteristics underlining successful knowledge ecosystems, we explore and identify the vehicles of university–firm collaboration and contextual relationships within the knowledge ecosystem which impacts upon success innovations among small and mediums sized enterprises (SMEs) in Canada.
