Abstract	Amid rising climate commitments, cities are pursuing smart strategies to reduce their carbon footprint. Smart city concepts integrate digitalization for energy efficiency and holistic sustainability development on environmental, economic, social, and cultural levels. However, traditional open innovation models fall short of systemic transitions. Robust innovation ecosystems, with trust among actors, are pivotal for inclusive progress. While smart cities are extensively researched, their geographical and sectoral linkages remain less explored. Trust’s role in nurturing such ecosystems, especially in public-private partnerships, lacks investigation. This chapter focuses on the smart development of the port city of Vaasa, investigating how trust influences smart port innovation ecosystems. Empirical data collected from Vaasa’s port ecosystem reveal trust as a critical precursor to ecosystem emergence and growth. The findings bridge theory and practice, offering strategies for policymakers and planners to foster trust and successful innovation ecosystems. This research advances multistakeholder collaboration, crucial in today’s interconnected world. The insights contribute to the evolving literature of the smart city-port-maritime context. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Joanna Paliszkiewicz, Kuanchin Chen and Marta Mendel; individual chapters, the contributors.
