International audience ; The aim of this article is to propose an analysis framework for better identifying the value creation and capture mechanisms in innovation ecosystems, their coordination and the factors determining the transition between the two. We start our questioning with investigating the literature on ecosystems and what they are, continue then with the one about what is value, what are the difficulties in defining what value creation stands for, and the one on mechanisms for value creation and capture, pointing out to the fact that the majority of literature if focusing on economic value. We end by presenting the objectives of this research project and why it is of interest for researchers, practitioners and regulatory bodies. This article aims at defining a conceptual framework to be used for investigating the mobility ecosystem in Lorraine.
