News archive - [Call for Papers] Triple Helix 2013

Never has the Triple Helix mission been more timely. Globally the economy faces significant challenges – unemployment, low or no growth, spiralling healthcare needs, rapidly emerging digital business models, on stainable changes to the environment. The need for universities and businesses to take action alongside governments is critical.

‘How can the Triple Helix approach build ‘the enterprising state’ in which universities, businesses and governments co- innovate to solve global economic challenges?'
