A Atuação da Tríplice Hélice em Santa Catarina pela Visão dos Núcleos de Inovação Tecnológica (NITs) do Estado

The integrated action between university, industry and government contributes to the growth of a region, as it creates an enabling environment for innovation to take place. The present work investigated, through a qualitative research carried out in 2016, the level of integration of the actors of the triple propeller (government, companies and universities) in Santa Catarina. The research was carried out six coordinators of Tecnologic Innovation Cores (TIC). The results show that each of the propellers has worked to develop, however, the performance still does not happen in an integrated way. One concern pointed out by the interviewees was that any model of action chosen for the triple propeller in the State should consider the existing regional differences. In addition, you need to understand what the regional actors are about each propeller and how best they can work together.
