ABSTRACT

This chapter investigates the performance of the Science and Technology Parks (STPs) and its relationship with the triple helix concept for Turkish STPs in 2019. To illustrate the effect of the triple helix concept of the performance of STPs, the model is analyzed by using the Multiple Multivariate Regression Method. Science and Technology Parks are a source of knowledge spillovers and an important component of the regional innovation systems. We overview the main features of STPs, as well as the triple helix policy framework in Turkey. We find that parks that have an association with a university, government, and industry have a greater level of employment growth. On the other hand, when the association is limited to industry and government, the parks’ project submission level is higher than others.
