And the first step to its formation is theoretical and experimental knowledge of this field. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the dimensions and components of the innovation ecosystem in order to design a framework in this field using the Meta-synthesis of Sandlowski and Barroso models. 438 related articles were purposefully reviewed based on inclusion criteria and finally 42 articles were selected for final analysis. Findings show that Innovation ecosystem framework consists of five dimensions consisting of actors (at the macro level: government, universities, policy makers, geographical and regional environment. At the micro level: micro research institutions, entrepreneurs, customers and investors). Structure (at two levels: 1- Process: life cycle, feedback systems, collaborative competition, dynamic capabilities, environmental and regional factors. 2- Operational: networking, market-oriented, open innovation, multiple innovation models) Relationships and Interactions (relationships: formal and informal networks. Interactions: attracting specialized and complementary capabilities, entrepreneurial orientation to create value) Mode of operation and consequences (strategic: environmental and infrastructure preparation, formulation of policies and strategies based on knowledge Operations: feedback and strengthening of the regulatory system, active leadership, organization of all key elements by a central platform, knowledge flow management, flexibility, transfer of marketing and sales technology) and results (at the macro level: economic growth and development, comprehensive value Proposed, sustainable development .at the micro level: creating a competitive advantage, increasing efficiency, commercialization and increasing profits).. The proposed framework can provide valuable insights for the development of research in this area UR - http://rimag.ir/fa/Article/15929 L1 - http://rimag.ir/fa/Article/Download/15929 TY -JOURId - 15929
