Urban technology cooperation
Published in Alexandra Mallett, Renewable Energy Uptake in Urban Latin America, 2020
Triple Helix – With respect to Mexico, like other countries in Latin America, the triple helix concept, where academia, industry and government collaborate on technological development, among other issues, exists. There were small pockets of networks forming between these three sectors (academia, industry and government), but the majority of public funds were aimed at government agencies, including how funds were managed and the target of strategies, and public/academic organizations, such as to support university research on science and technology, rather than the private sector.1 Firms felt that the majority of capacity building regarding solar energy occurred through experience gained on the job,2 also termed learning by doing,3 rather than through building up long-term technological capabilities. Also, a number involved in the SWH industry in the 2000s felt that the Mexican government was ‘doing nothing to help Mexican companies’.4 Having said this, there were two major exceptions to these trends.
Constructing a local maritime cluster
Published in Peter B. Myles, Maritime Clusters and the Ocean Economy, 2017
There is a symbiotic relationship between maritime clusters and the quadruple helix system. The problem with the triple helix innovation model is that it is based on three pillars: academia, government and industry, which play integrated and sometimes overlapping roles. However, according to the quadruple helix innovation model, a country’s economic structure lies on four helices: academia, industry, government and civil society; and economic growth is generated by the clustering and concentration of talented and productive people. A new setting for innovation has emerged: global networks of knowledge hubs, where sustainable innovation is based on ethically, socially, economically and environmentally sustainable principles. Networks contribute significantly to the innovative skills of firms by exposing them to new sources of ideas, by speeding up access to resources, and by facilitating the transfer of knowledge.

The tech transfer opportunities are endless, but they will not be possible without the development of a pipeline for university innovation to transfer into the manufacturing capabilities of private industry. The recipe for success can be found in Leydesdorff and Etzkowitz’s (1998) Triple Helix model. The triple helix is the interdependency of industry, academia, and government. In this model, hybrid organizations emerge consisting of industry, academia, and government. An example of one of these hybrid organizations are the institutes comprising the National Network of Innovation Institutes (NNMI), funded by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) or the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) (Manufacturing.gov, n.d.). NNMIs match government dollars with industry and academia dollars and are generally led by a nonprofit organization consisting of industry, academia, and government partners. These institutes combine the research base of academia with the manufacturing base of industry to solve national manufacturing problems and create innovations for the future.
Fashion innovation through an innovation ecosystem – a research agenda

According to its drivers, innovation can be categorised as technology-driven, design-driven, market-driven and customer-driven, responding to the three main categories of fashion innovation (Norman & Verganti, 2014; Verganti, 2008, 2011). Utilising stakeholder theory in innovation ecosystem research facilitates the comprehension of governance structure and value creation (Freeman, 2010). The innovation ecosystem is composed of firms, users, universities, research institutes and the government as actors (Adner, 2017). Triple Helix and the consequent Quadruple Helix demonstrated that the government’s inclusivity encouraged innovation and innovation ecosystem (Carayannis & Campbell, 2009; Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff, 2000). The relationship between government policy and innovation has been the subject of fruitful research and innovation played a crucial role in policy-making (Whitham, Pérez, Mason, & Ford, 2019; Xiong & Xia, 2020). However, little research has been conducted on how policy and government influence fashion innovation.
Institutionalising Industry 4.0: a Delphi study of institutional change readiness for the fourth industrial revolution in an emerging economy

Initially proposed in the 1990s, the triple helix, according to Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (1998, 1), is a ‘spiral model of innovation, which is able to capture multiple reciprocal linkages at different stages of the capitalization of the knowledge’. The argument being that the links between universities, industries, and governments exist as a three-part communication network, with the triple helix anticipated to exhibit a complex dynamic. The model reflects the various styles and degrees of collaboration among these three key institutional actors in the innovation process (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff 1998). Unlike some existing models of change and innovation, such as the diffusion of innovation (Rogers 1983) and disruptive innovation (Christensen 1997), which tend to focus on the dynamic process for creating, implementing, and adopting new ideas, the triple helix model promotes the development of institutions and is about adjusting the institutional environment or institutional innovation, to harness relationships between academia, business, and government for competitive socioeconomic development (Cai 2015). Although comparable to the systems of innovation concept which also posits on networks of institutions whose interactions generate innovations (Edquist 1997), the triple helix concept is more focused and prescriptive of the ‘structure and dynamics underlying the innovation system functioning at various levels’ (Leydesdorff and Zawdie 2010, 789). This prescriptiveness of institutional actors is the motivation for adopting the triple helix in this study concerning perceptions of institutional actors on institutional change readiness factors.
Application of intelligent analysis based on project management in development decision-making of regional economic development
Published in Applied Artificial Intelligence, 2023
The triple helix model involves three stakeholders: academia, government, and industry. In this model, academia provides the research and knowledge base, government provides the regulatory framework and funding, and industry provides the market and commercialization expertise. The model is based on the idea that these three actors can work together to generate economic growth and innovation.
