This paper proposes to identify and characterize national and international Meta-Organizations (MO) that operate in the industrial sector. Through the identification and characterization of some MO, it will be discussed such topics as, the functioning of Meta-Organization, its different forms of structuring, levels of stratification, as well as the relationship between members, among others. Through its characterization, based on the analyzed cases, it is possible to observe that, in terms of innovation and in the industrial sector, there is a tendency for the type of Meta-Organization structure used, all of which adopted by an open co-owner model (or managed ecosystem). After characterization, it was then allowed to understand the importance of Meta-Organizations in the economy, as they promote greater business competitiveness, using business mutual assistance, resulting in a constant evolution and development of new technologies and sustainable and profitable processes.
