This article explores the impact of firms' dynamic capabilities and ecosystem on innovation within Moroccan automotive SMEs. Utilizing the dynamic capabilities theory and resource-based view, our analysis deepens the understanding of innovation patterns unique to Moroccan SMEs.

Through hypotheses (H1 to H11), we investigate the relationships among various capabilities such as SMEs' adaptation and absorption, ecosystem resilience, coopetition, governance, and openness. Findings underscore the significance of SMEs' absorption and adaptation capabilities, combined with ecosystem coopetition, governance, and resilience, for innovation performance.

In conclusion, this research sheds light on the impact of dynamic capabilities on SME innovation within the Moroccan automotive ecosystem. Our findings provide significant implications for emerging players in the automotive industry and national strategies. Additionally, our study highlights the importance of adapting to the transition to electric and digital technologies, particularly by developing new mobility models and integrating electrification strategies.
