TRIPLE HELIX MODEL - cooperation as a precondition of development : Graduate paper

Triple Helix model predstavlja temelj za razumijevanje suradnje između vlade, poslovnog sektora i sveučilišta, kroz koju se stvaraju čvrste osnove za razvoje regije i države. Posebnost ovog modela se očituje upravo u međusobnoj isprepletenoj suradnji sva tri navedena aktera, a upravo kroz takvu suradnju dolazi do razvoja inovacija, iskorištavanja prilika te društvenog i gospodarskog napretka. U Triple Helix modelu, svi akteri moraju imati aktivnu ulogu u pronalasku zajedničkih interesa i promicanju suradnje. U teorijskom dijelu rada prikazan je nastanak i razvoj promišljanja o Triple Helix modelu te je objašnjena uloga vlade, poslovnog sektora i sveučilišta u samom modelu. Empirijski dio rada analizira primjere iz svijeta i iz Hrvatske. Prikazani su uspješni primjeri suradnje kroz New England Council i Joint Venture Silicon Valley. Prilikom analize situacije u Hrvatskoj, fokus je stavljen na Rijeku koja je kroz uspješnu suradnju i projekte iskoristila potencijal koji pruža model Triple Helix, te na Osijek, koji još uvijek nema dovoljno razvijenu suradnju i zajedničke interese između pojedinih aktera u ovom modelu.Triple Helix model presents the base to understand the cooperation between government, business sector, and university, which are the bases for the development of regions and countries. The Speciallity of this model is manifested in mutual cooperation between three main social members and through that cooperation it comes to innovation development, taking the opportunities and social and economical development. Every social member must have an active role in finding the common interests and promotion of cooperation. Deliberation about Triple Helix model and explanation of the role of government, business sector, and university in this model were presented in the theoretical part of this paper. The research part of the graduate paper analyzes examples of Triple Helix model in the world and in Croatia. New England Council and Joint Venture Silicon Valley were presented as successful examples of Triple Helix model. During the analysis of the situation in Croatia, the focus was placed on the City of Rijeka,which is exploited the potential of Triple Helix model, and the City of Osijek, which still hasn't recognize the full potential of cooperation and Triple Helix model
