Relational capital for shared vision in innovation ecosystems

Martha G. Russell, Jukka Huhtamäki, Kaisa Still, Neil Rubens, Rahul C. Basole · 2015 · Triple Helix Journal

Summary. This paper examines relationship networks in three metropolitan innovation ecosystems—Austin, Minneapolis, and Paris—using Triple Helix framework and network analysis. The authors measure relational capital through network metrics and visualizations, revealing distinct patterns that structure business activity at startup, growth, and enterprise levels. They demonstrate that data-driven indicators of relational capital can guide network orchestration, inform policy decisions, and build shared vision across spatially defined business ecosystems.
