Rendezvous of the ‘Third Kind’: Triple Helix Origins and Future Possibilities

Abstract

The Triple Helix, representing university–industry–government interactions, was mooted in a 1993 International Workshop on University–Industry Relations at UNAM's Centro Para la Innovacion Technologica in Mexico City. Impelled by Mexican reality, where university–industry interactions and the institutions themselves operated within a governmental framework, the image equally fits laissez-faire societies where the role of government in university–industry interactions can also be discerned. This article discusses the source of the Triple Helix model in a government-led response to economic downturn in early twentieth century New England which recognized universities as a key regional actor, and suggests how the model may play a role in response to the contemporary economic crisis.
