Abstract

This study discusses theoretical concepts such as Mode 3, Quadruple Helix and related variety in order to depict the opportunities for peripheral non-university regions to engage in innovative development. It is argued that certain alterations in the fourth helix have the potential of opening the actors in the Triple Helix towards each other for the purpose of innovation development. The case of the technology centre KETEK in Finland illustrates the manner in which an increasingly dynamic innovation environment is enabled through a differentiation of both the knowledge and the political systems, and where the setting up of the intermediate organisation has been central to this development. Suggestions of the democratic potential of an intermediate organisation and a participative and inclusive innovation system are put forward.
