“…While some authors report successful cases (Jauhiainen and Suorsa 2008;Ranga et al 2008) some others claim that due to poor preconditions, Triple Helix initiatives might fail in such settings (Jensen and Tragardh 2004) if diverging interests are not resolved (Fogelberg and Thorpenberg 2012). In this respect, Pugh (2017) and Saad and Zawdie (2005) converge in signaling that the diversity of regional settings, spaces and cultures need to be acknowledged when assessing university-industry-government interactions.…”

Silicon Valley's innovation ecosystem has evolved in the last decade. In this study we aim to understand how and why Silicon Valley evolves by identifying changes on the role played by the Triple Helix Agents. We also aim at identifying if changes in one of the agents trigger evolution of the others. Taking the startup as the unit of analysis and applying a multiple case-study approach, the results are analyzed on the bases of the Triple Helix Model and interpreted in the light of the periods of development of an entrepreneurial venture. Our findings suggest that the role of the Triple Helix agents evolves over time and therefore, so does an innovative ecosystem. Main changes refer to the (1) rise of accelerator programs as a new player in the ecosystem; (2) an early engagement of corporations with startups; (3) the geographical expansion of Silicon Valley, now including San Francisco; (4) an increasing commitment of universities with capital funds; and (5) the rise of micromultinationals due to talent shortage and fierce competition in the area.

“…The above framework also supports integration of further data and methods to build upon findings from within this chapter and elsewhere. This incorporates insight from quantitative work such as that of DTZ (2010) and Murphy, Huggins, and Thompson (2015), along with qualitative work including that from Cooke (2004) and Pugh (2017). This approach has been adopted to also support continued development of the longitudinal study of Technium Swansea, as well as providing a basis for planned examination of the cases of other Technium centres.…”

“…Harrison and Turok focus the analysis regional socio-economic development on the specifics of university development and work out econometric methodology for assessing the impact of university research on regional development [15]. Pugh analyses the opportunities of university impact on the economies of underdeveloped and depressive regions [16]. Based on the Israeli case-study, Frenkel and Leck research into spatial aspects of higher education and develop forecasting models for peripheral universities graduates' desirable job opportunities in high-tech industries [17].…”

The spatial strategy of the Russian Federation implies the university network development in compliance with the new conditions of economic development, geographic concentration of labour, scientific and technological, innovative activities. For a long time, a geographic aspect has not been addressed while reforming higher education in spite of a lot of research and managerial experience in spatial university distribution worldwide. In this regard, the study is aimed at grounding the prospects for improving spatial university distribution based on the European experience of countries with different educational models. Based on the methodology of the empirical and statistical analysis, rankings, the authors researched into the theoretical backgrounds of university network distribution, the classification of spatial specifics of European educational models, the conditions for the successful adaptation of the European experience in Russia. The novelty of the research is in the working-out of the university network spatial organization based on the case study of countries with different educational models that have been proved successful. The authors used the methodology of empirical, systemic and comparative analysis. Rankings and general purpose and special purpose applications (Microsoft Excel, Statistica 8.0) were used to observe and classify raw data and calculate integrative indicators. The main results of the research could be used for further research into the spatial distribution of economic resources, for strategic planning activities.
