This research aims to analyse the innovative performance of a Portuguese region (NUT III Beira Interior Sul) throughout the application of the Triple Helix (TH) approach, examining its capacity to describe and explain the innovative dynamics of the low density regions as an engine of its competitiveness. The TH model seems to be a useful analytical tool to approach and organize public policy and actors' strategy oriented to shape and nurture emerging and fragile innovation systems, namely to identify and characterize regional actors and networks, its performance and links with other institutions , as well as policy implications to embed the regional competitiveness within government-academia-industry partnerships.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza innowacyjnych osiągnięć portugalskiego regionu Beira Interior Sul (NUT III) poprzez zastosowanie podejścia opartego na modelu potrójnej heliksy i wyjaśnienie, w jaki sposób innowacyjna dynamika rzadko zaludnionego regionu staje się siłą napędową powodującą rozwój jego konkurencyjności. Model potrójnej heliksy wydaje się użytecznym narzędziem analitycznym pomagającym zorganizować politykę publiczną oraz strategie poszczególnych aktorów zorientowane na kształtowanie i wspieranie pojawiających się kruchych jeszcze systemów innowacyjnych, a mianowicie do zidentyfikowania i określenia charakteru regionalnych aktorów oraz sieci, ich osiągnięć i rezultatów działań, powiązań z innymi instytucjami oraz implikacji opracowywanych i wdrażanych polityk w celu wpisania kwestii konkurencyjności regionu w ramy partnerstwa rząd - instytucje naukowe i badawcze - przedsiębiorstwa.
