The Identification of Challenges in Innovation Ecosystem of West Java']Java, Indonesia Using a Systematic Literature Review

The objective of this literature review was to identify the challenges in the innovation ecosystem of West Java, Indonesia. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) and qualitative method, over 100 works from 2012 to 2022 were analyzed. The focus was then narrowed to 67 articles, significantly contributing to this review paper's discussions. Additional relevant references were included based on keywords such as Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), Intellectual Property, and Innovation Ecosystem. The literature review area was West Java, chosen due to the abundance of articles circulating within the region. West Java had the highest patent and intellectual property registrations, attributed to the presence of reputable universities. The main issue identified was the lack of synergy among the actors and limited youth participation, thereby worsening challenges in sustaining the funding. The analysis underscored the potential to enhance youth participation through government initiatives. To validate such results and formulate tailored recommendations for each actor in innovation ecosystem, further reviews were recommended. This aimed to enhance innovation productivity emanating from HEIs and other important actors.
