Triple helix circulation: the heart of innovation and development

James Dzisah, Henry Etzkowitz · 2008 · International Journal of Technology Management and Sustainable Development

Summary. The triple helix model—involving universities, industry, and government—drives innovation and development through the movement of people and knowledge across these sectors. Universities now function as key socio-economic actors beyond their traditional role as knowledge providers. The paper argues that removing barriers to circulation and strengthening cooperation among these development actors is essential for achieving sustainable, knowledge-based development in resource-constrained societies.
