Partnerships are demanded to implement a more integrated approach to sustainable development problems. The complex character of sustainability requires the participation of many societal spheres to resolve them. Sustainable Development Goal #17 “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development” recognizes multi-stakeholder partnerships as important vehicles for mobilizing and sharing knowledge, expertise, technologies, and financial resources to support the achievement of the SDGs in all countries. Innovation Ecosystems (IE) are dynamic purposive multi-stakeholders' networks with complex relationships built on trust, co-creation of value, and exchange of complementary technologies or competencies. Few studies investigated the IEs relating to sustainability and specially within the SDGs. This study provides a descriptive analysis of the relationship between IE and the SDGs, concerning the question about how the IE framework can orient the SDG #17 partnership implementation. The methodology is based on the literature review and analysis of documents from the United Nations, available at the UN Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform - 2021. Four core drivers were identified and discussed: Geographical Governance, Collaboration, Knowledge Transmission, and Value co-creation. Considering the IE lens, the SDGs can be addressed as the purpose engaging the Major Groups, which are the key contributors in terms of being part of the challenges and solutions. There is a need to prepare stakeholders to be ecosystem conscious and aware of the demanded innovations. Future research should include describing methods to measure IE performance considering the SDGs and empirical studies to analyze the ecosystem roles and relations of the Major Groups.

针对可持续发展目标 #17 伙伴关系实施的创新生态系统框架

需要建立伙伴关系以对可持续发展问题采取更加综合的方法。可持续性的复杂特征需要许多社会领域的参与来解决它们。可持续发展目标 #17“加强实施手段，重振可持续发展全球伙伴关系”承认多利益相关方伙伴关系是动员和共享知识、专业知识、技术和财政资源以支持在所有方面实现可持续发展目标的重要工具国家。创新生态系统 (IE) 是动态的、有目的的多利益相关者网络，其复杂的关系建立在信任、价值的共同创造以及互补技术或能力的交换之上。很少有研究调查与可持续性相关的 IE，特别是在 SDG 中。本研究对 IE 与 SDG 之间的关系进行了描述性分析，涉及 IE 框架如何指导 SDG #17 伙伴关系实施的问题。该方法基于对联合国文件的文献审查和分析，可在联合国可持续发展知识平台 - 2021 上找到。确定并讨论了四个核心驱动因素：地理治理、协作、知识传播和价值共创。考虑到 IE 的角度，可持续发展目标可以作为主要群体参与的目的来解决，这些群体是成为挑战和解决方案的一部分的关键贡献者。需要让利益相关者做好生态系统意识并意识到所需的创新。
