Triple Helix analysis from Fapemig data for the last 10 years

Abstract

Purpose The puropose of this study is to analyze the functioning of the triple helix interaction in Minas Gerais, through the case study of the Minas Gerais State Research Support Foundation (Fapemig). Design/methodology/approach The information was collected from the Activity Reports published by Fapemig. Quantitative methods were used for structural analysis and data tabulation of the researched and qualitative programs for a procedural and documentary analysis of projects promoted by Fapemig between the years 2009 and 2018. Findings The Fapemig showed itself to be a fundamental agent for innovation and the development of interactions between the state, universities and companies in Minas Gerais, through the creation of programs, offered in public notices, financing them and creating a space of consensus among the agents. Originality/value There is few research on triple helix interaction for the state of Minas Gerais; most research on this topic is concentrated in some regions of the country, and the present work contributes to fill this research gap, besides demonstrating, in a case study, applications of recent and still little-explored concepts of the literature on triple helix.

Exogenous shock: hierarchical effect of the industrial entrepreneur confidence in the mist of the COVID-19 pandemic

“…, 2023). Var_Cases: Variation of new COVID-19 cases (Portal COVID): The variable represents the variation of the number of new cases divided by the population in the current month in relation to the variation of new cases by the population of the previous month.Var_Deaths: Variation of new deaths by COVID-19 (Portal COVID): The variable represents the variation of the numbers of new deaths divided by the population of the current month in relation to the variation of new deaths by the previous population.IPCA: Broad national consumer price index (IBGE): the IPCA, calculated by the IBGE, has advantages of measuring the inflation of a set of national and foreign products of families whose income is between 1 and 40 minimum wages, and, thus, it guarantees a 90% coverage of the urban families in areas in which there is data gathering (Bernardino et al. , 2020).…”

“…(3) IPP: Producer price index (IBGE): For the IPP (PPI) variable, there was the need of carrying out nonlinear transformations, aiming to make the distribution more symmetric and closer to the normal distribution (Hauzenberger et al, 2023). (6) IPCA: Broad national consumer price index (IBGE): the IPCA, calculated by the IBGE, has advantages of measuring the inflation of a set of national and foreign products of families whose income is between 1 and 40 minimum wages, and, thus, it guarantees a 90% coverage of the urban families in areas in which there is data gathering (Bernardino et al, 2020).…”

Fundamental elements of university-industry interaction from a grounded theory approach

“…To provide more dynamism and enhance integration among the actors, Bernardino et al (2020), using a case study, discuss the role of institutions, such as Research Support Foundations, fundamental agents for innovation, that fosters and strengthen the bonds between the Triple Helix elements.…”

“…Therefore, by consensus, universities, companies and the government seem to point out that economic growth with equity depends on the strengthening, expansion, consolidation and integration of the national system of science, technology and innovation (Lemos & Cario, 2017). In this regard, the role of the instruments that support this process of U–I interaction is highlighted, so that they can offer conditions for the dissemination of knowledge aligned with science, technology and innovation (Bernardino, Debortoli, Veloso, Nunes, & de Assis, 2020).…”
