  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Innovations for Community Services (I4CS 2023)

Abstract

Innovation networks have always been in the core of human wealth, because of their contribution to increased economic efficiency. Hacker communities in particular have been proven to be the fastest and most successful innovation network. This paper presents a method to extend the concept of innovation networks, by elements of innovation from the digital ecosystem and more specifically the crypto ecosystem and to use artificial intelligence to discover the specific hidden part of the innovation networks. By using specific sources from the internet about community communication on platforms in surface web, deep web and dark nets, in addition to publication analytics and patent analytics, the hidden part of the innovation networks will be made visible and accessible to further analytics. This understanding the innovation methods from hacker communities is essential for the digital transformation in public services, universities, and other organizations.
