To achieve the ambitious goals in terms of energy transition and renewable energy production, innovation seems to be essential. To do so, various types of collaborations must be developed. This study examined this challenge through the lens of green innovation ecosystems. Although existing research has studied the dynamics between actors, the link between the type of collaboration and its innovation, depending on the stage of the project, remains under- researched. Using exploratory qualitative research, we conducted 25 semi-directive interviews to investigate the ecosystem of Agrivoltaics, i.e., combining photovoltaic technology with agricultural production, in France. The study findings revealed a typology of collaboration, aligning the stage of the value chain, the actors involved, and the type of innovation developed -green or not. Our study enriches the knowledge on green innovation ecosystems, highlighting collaborations for innovation in agrivoltaics projects.
