Circular Economy in the Triple Helix of Innovation Systems

Markku Anttonen, Minna Lammi, Juri Mykkänen, Petteri Repo · 2018 · Sustainability

Summary. This paper examines how industry, government, and universities conceptualize circular economy within innovation systems. Using natural language processing, the authors find that while each sector has distinct priorities—industry focuses on global business opportunities, government on waste-related policies and economic growth, and universities on production and environmental issues—they share limited consensus around materials, products, and creating resources from waste. This consensus space, the authors argue, can drive systemic innovation if strengthened across all three sectors.
