Triple Helix Systems: An Analytical Framework for Innovation Policy and Practice in the Knowledge Society
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the concept of Triple Helix systems as an analytical construct that systematizes the key features of university-industry-government (Triple Helix) interactions into an ‘innovation system’ format defined according to systems theory as a set of components, relationships and functions. This conceptual framework offers a broad perspective for understanding the sources and development paths of innovation, and can be an attractive paradigm for regions that aim to enhance their knowledge base and create “steeples of excellence” around research themes with commercial potential and innovative firms. Triple Helix systems delineate how new regimes appear through creative reconstruction and provide new insights into innovation dynamics.
