From technology transfer to the emergence of a triple helix culture: the experience of Algeria in innovation and technological capability development

Mohammed Saad, Girma Zawdie · 2005 · Technology Analysis and Strategic Management

Summary. Algeria's post-independence industrialization relied heavily on technology transfer and central planning, but this approach failed to build genuine innovation capacity. The paper argues that developing countries must shift toward a triple helix model where universities, industry, government, and non-governmental organizations collaborate to foster innovation culture. Bureaucratic fragmentation and institutional barriers have blocked technological capability development. Policy reforms must prioritize building national innovation systems and enabling triple helix partnerships over passive technology transfer.
