https://doi.org/10.21686/2413-2829-2026-1-40-54

Abstract

The article studies evolution of the triple spiral concept as a mechanism of innovation development. Key stages of the model development were analyzed, from initial triple spiral (state – business – universities) to its extended variants, i.e. of four – (civil society included) and five-link one (natural environment is taken into account), as well as other interrelations that show various socio-economic processes and national specificity. The goal of the research is to describe elaboration of efficient model of innovation development based on evolution of the triple spiral concept and identification of roles of innovation ecosystem actors. Theoretical importance of the research deals with systematization of stages of spiral model working-out and development of structured role model that can make functions of innovation ecosystem participants more concrete. The article underlines practical importance of the role model of business-ecosystem for elaboration of concrete measures of state and corporate policy aimed at the development of innovation infrastructure and stimulation of cooperation.
