Regional innovation policy and public-private partnership: The case of Triple Helix Arenas in Western Sweden

The study used a historical case-study approach, combined with interviews with project management and project workers, to highlight the difficulties in stabilising broad collaboration patterns. The paper concludes that diverging interests may result in unresolved tensions within Triple Helix Arenas. (Less)
