AB  - Policy makers at the national level and decision makers in firms generally needs to have appropriate
and opportune information in various technological fields and innovation situations to make timely and
effectively decisions. 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.
