Quadruple helix as a network of relationships: creating value within a Swedish regional innovation system

Nina Hasche, Linda Höglund, Gabriel Linton · 2019 · Journal of Small Business & Entrepreneurship

Summary. This study examines a Swedish regional innovation initiative through the quadruple helix framework, which includes industry, government, academia, and users/civil society.

Users within this framework vary by context and can include businesses, organizations, and citizens.
