A relação universidade-empresa-governo em parques tecnológicos brasileiros em desenvolvimento

Abstract

The cooperation between different economic agents and the university-businessgovernment interaction have acquired a growing importance in the creation of sources of knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship, especially in the constitution of the triple helix in the development of technology parks. Recent studies show that technology park initiatives have multiplied, in Brazil, over time, from 10 in the year 2000, to 103 in 2017, with 37 in the design phase, 23 in the implementation phase, and 43 in the operation phase. This research aims to investigate the relationship of university, government and company actors in Brazilian technology parks in the implementation phase. The method employed was document analysis with the aid of (asymmetric) observation and adaptation of a perspective from the theory of speech acts and documents applied to a set of 82 documents from three poles in the implementation phase. From the units of analysis: introductory aspects, innovation, infrastructure, institutional viability, organizational identity, organizational environment, and local culture, it was possible to understand the processes of collaboration in the construction of the triple helix and the participation of regional governments in the interest of stimulating economic profitability in the region. Through the innovation process based on business problems and solutions based on university research, the analyses also allowed us to understand the consolidation of the role of these fostering initiatives in the creation of technology-based companies, as well as the immersion of actors capable of strengthening the National Innovation Systems (NIS). Furthermore, it revealed what relationships exist between universities, government and companies, and the activities they develop in the constitution of science and technology parks during their implementation phase.
