ABSTRACT
The Quadruple Innovation Helix bridges social ecology with knowledge production and innovation. The most important constituent element of the quadruple helix–apart from the active “human agents”–is the resource of knowledge, which through a circulation known as circulation of knowledge, between social subsystems, changes to innovation and know-how in a society and for the economy. The Quadruple/Quintuple Innovation Helix model puts innovation users at its heart and encourages the development of innovations that are pertinent for users.
