  This study explores how knowledge management in sustainable innovation ecosystems integrates indigenous wisdom and modern strategies to drive innovation and sustainability. Indigenous knowledge, developed over millennia, provides valuable insights into sustainable management, agriculture, and healing traditions. By combining this wisdom with social technologies and scientific approaches, the research identifies leverage points for co-creating solutions that enhance cultural heritage and community well-being. Using system dynamics principles, a causal loop diagram (CLD) maps interactions between variables, revealing the transformative role of R&D investment. This variable is identified as central to fostering incremental and disruptive innovations, addressing systemic imbalances, and promoting local value retention through bioindustrialization. The findings demonstrate that integrating traditional and modern knowledge strengthens collaboration networks, mitigates structural barriers, and generates social, economic, and environmental benefits. The study concludes that prioritizing indigenous wisdom alongside robust R&D strategies is critical for sustainable innovation and resilience. Public policies supporting community autonomy and local innovation are essential for long-term socio-environmental sustainability.
