| Resumo: | Using the Triple Helix model, this article examines the contribution of a higher education institution, the Polytechnic of
Guarda (PG), located in an inland, a less-favoured region of Portugal, to territorial innovation dynamics. The main goal is to
explore how the interaction and cooperation between the three helices of the Guarda region (PG, companies and local
governance institutions) fosters innovation and development in a less-favoured region in a sustainable way, generating new
patterns of collaboration among the helices. The study investigates the behaviour of the three helices through an online
survey. The results suggest that PG has a key role in building a knowledge-based society, in advancing innovation and the
development of the region. Its role in business dynamics and community development through knowledge transfer and
entrepreneurship training is reflected mainly in the high proportion of businesses and institutions of the local governance
system that have workers trained in this institution, and in the satisfaction (medium and high) with the work performed by
professionals trained at PG. Although the other helices (companies and local governance institutions) are also involved in
innovation to different degrees, the innovation performance of the region remains low because of weak interactions
between companies and PG, and between companies and local governance institutions. However, a closer relationship is
identified between local governance institutions and PG. |
