The 2020 Triple Helix Conference is aimed to evoke both scholarly debates and best practice sharing on how innovation could create a desirable society in the future and how innovation should be understood and approached for achieving such a goal.
The Conference is held in the summery Nordic riverside city Tampere, which offers beautiful setting for the multidisciplinary dialogue.

The theme of 2020 Triple Helix Conference is Future of innovation and innovation for future. The 2020 conference will promote dialogue among researchers, policy-makers and practitioners, who are involved in various aspects of innovation ecosystem for an example with the issues related to knowledge society, social innovation, technology transfer and innovation policy to name a few.
