Raising the potential of the Triple Helix – Co-innovation to drive the world forward

The Triple Helix’s mission could hardly be more timely. Globally the economy faces two existential challenges: how to create sustainable growth given the vast overhang of private debt in Asia, Europe and North America, and how that is to be done given the disruptive – if transformational – impact of digitalisation on traditional business models. The response has to be smart ,radical and above all innovative, imposing a new urgency on universities, business and government to work together in a clear-eyed and decisive way. With our backs against the wall, we have to innovate our way out of this crisis.
