Abstract

Digital ecosystems are modular type structures composed of loosely connected components that can be combined in different ways. They allow the development of a new business model, which is based on a network of business partners and organizes economic activities in a new way. The digital ecosystem brings together actors from different sectors, with different perspectives and opportunities, who share resources, experiences and ideas, and create value for the end user. The technological basis of digital ecosystems is formed by shared platforms and a set of standards, leading among which is the application programming inter- face (API). Based on theoretical and methodological publications, the article examines the concept of the digital ecosystem as a business model of partnerships, as well as the technologies on which it is developed.
