Abstract

‘The Scandinavian model’ is characterized by co-operation between the various actors in working life, and between these actors, on the one hand, and public and political actors and agencies, on the other. With the advent of the notion of ‘Triple Helix’ where co-operation between enterprises, public bodies and research is emphasized (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff 1997), ‘tripartism’ has become a core element in innovation policy, giving the Scandinavian societies some advantages. The main Triple-Helix actors are already linked to each other, channels for communication exist and there is an institutional framework in place. Within this framework, however, there is space for a number of different configurations of actors and processes. These co-operative configurations have to be constructed, or innovated, in each specific regional context. The processes of innovating such regional co-operations prove to be highly influenced by how — the interactions between national, regional and local levels are played out.
