Smart Electromobility: Interactive ecosystem of research, innovation, engineering, and entrepreneurship

The development of large cities and the increased demand for mobility in them has required improvements and changes in the way we transport ourselves. This change has generated new urban mobility environments, some more efficient than others, depending on the country, culture, and society in which it develops. Besides, in these times of rapid exponential changes, it is useful to have informal and unstructured organizations that help generate an open and interactive ecosystem for the exchange of ideas and the flow of information that founded and strengthened innovation projects. This article describes the different actors whose role is relevant in an Interactive Ecosystem of Research, Innovation, Engineering and Entrepreneurship to generate consensus on common objectives related to the deep and positive transformation of society. This article aims to contribute to the debate and reflection on one of the main socio-technical systems, the smart electromobility in emerging countries. In particular, we will discuss the case of Mexico in-depth, but we will review some other efforts that have been occurring in other emerging countries. A conceptual model and framework is proposed to address in a systematic and Interactive way the Research, Innovation, Engineering and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem of Electromobility.
