Lack of this information has irreparable consequences for organizations. The term “technology intelligence” is a generic solution for dealing with such a challenge. It is especially important in fields where technological development is rapid and where changes are likely to occur more rapidly. The purpose of technology intelligence is to gain a technology based competitive advantage. This paper suggests a conceptual model for the development of technology intelligenceinthe national innovation ecosystemby using an empirical study in the fuel cell technology ecosystem. This model has six crucial items at itstop level including performance and needed guidance, search and acquisition, processing, organizing and storing, analyzing and documenting and disseminating. According to this model developing technology intelligence in the national innovation ecosystem can improve efficiency and increase wisdom in the ecosystem. ER -
