The Institute for Triple Helix Innovation
• A hub for collaborative innovation ~ Connecting new colleagues to build networks of networks
• An arbiter of trilateral best practices ~ Across distance, disciplines & cultures
• A champion for discovery ~ Novel models, platforms, tools & processes promoting flexible partnering, creativity, entrepreneurship and collaborative innovation
• Building a better world ~ Through collaborations that build competitiveness; transparency that builds mutual trust; and, partnerships that build opportunities for profitability with social mission
Reed’s Law
There is exponential growth in value created by the interconnection of networks, particularly social networks
Demands of a Global Economy
• Vigilance• Absorptive capacity• Flexibility• Dynamic exchange• Diversity • Cultural awareness• Nimble interactions
Knowledge Creation & Knowledge Transfer
“Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy
it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something
else.”

Innovation
Clustering –A geographic concentration of competing and cooperating ventures that maximize the flow of information, collaborations and resources
Knowledge Spillovers – Knowledge is difficult to contain and may thus spill over to the benefit of others who are vigilant recognize its potential
Absorptive Capacity – An organization’s ability to adopt innovations, perceive opportunities and, use information to develop products or processes
Knowledge Clusters
• Innovation
• Common Language
• Spillovers
• Regional Innovation
• Knowledge Creation
• Virtual Worlds
• Social Entrepreneurship
Transformative Networks
“Innovation increasingly takes place at the interfaces such that partnerships that straddle the politics/science boundaries can internalize flexibility and innovation.” (Leydesdorff & Etzkowitz, 2001)
