ABSTRACT: 

This paper is about the management of exploratory projects. These are the projects where the goals and the means to accomplish them are not defined at the beginning of the project. The only thing that can be certain is the required ecosystem innovation management at the start. This report also examines the current experiences in the field of solar power projects. The paper analyzes the practiced project management approach on solar energy projects in order to show the proper ecosystem for these projects.
The Solar Park Project is one of UAE’s local utility authority and used as the case for this study. The following research discusses and analyzes the active strategies and models used for the solar park project. The results display the best solutions related to exploratory projects, more specifically the ones used in creation of an ecosystem innovation for better value creation.

Keywords: exploratory projects, ecosystem innovation, solar energy project.
