Abstract: This report addresses the stakeholder analysis of the INEDIT (open INnovation Ecosystems for Do It Together process) platform performed within Task 2.1 activities, including the identification of the type and interests of the stakeholders, as well as their requirements to adopt the platform. The outcome of the analysis is meant to provide a fundamental background for the other project WPs. The study has been performed considering existing co-creation environments: platforms for co-creation, their stakeholders and the relationships among them, leading to the identification of:

• Primary stakeholders: the direct actors of business activity that will be triggered and/or supported by the platform or have a direct impact on the development of the platform;
•  Secondary stakeholders: they influence business activities generated between the internal stakeholders and the adoption of the platform itself;

In order to perform this study, a set of interviews to potential stakeholders has been set up and carried out by all the partners, allowing to better understand their needs and expectations, and which are the
weaknesses and strengths of INEDIT platform in their view. This has also been a first step in the involvement of stakeholders community in the project activities.
