CECI-GRIFE研討會系列 VII

We are delighted to invite you to the CECI-GRIFE Seminar Series VII, titled " How does higher education resources facilitate the formation and development of industrial clusters in the Chinese solar-panel industry? A quintuple-helix perspective”.

In recent years, the development of regional innovation systems has emerged as a key strategy for countries worldwide to secure a competitive advantage in national development. Building upon recent advancements in the Triple Helix theory, this study proposes a Quintuple-Helix theoretical model adapted to China's specific national context and conducts an in-depth case analysis using the photovoltaic (PV) industry as an example. Broadly speaking, the development trajectory of China’s PV industry exemplifies the synergistic interaction among the five helix actors, forming an upward spiral path characterized by “policy guidance – technological innovation – industrial integration – capital empowerment.” Regionally, the formation of China’s Quintuple-Helix innovation ecosystem demonstrates marked spatial heterogeneity. Accordingly, the construction of a successful regional innovation ecosystem should be aligned with local resource endowments and industrial characteristics. For example, a technology-driven Quintuple-Helix model necessitates the enhancement of the technology transfer system; a market-driven model requires stronger integration among industry, academia, and research institutions; a government-driven model should focus on nurturing market-oriented innovation entities; and an interaction-led model calls for the establishment of a multi-level, collaborative innovation framework. 

Key words: Triple Helix; Quintuple-Helix; Innovative-driven Development; Regional Innovation System.
