5. The Triple Helix
Gather main stakeholders from the public, academia and
industry to tackle key societal challenges with technology
• Public (government, agencies) – understands the societal needs
• Industry – understands how to fulfill the needs with technology
• Academia – understands the underlying science
Triple Helix applied to Fighter Aircraft development

8. The Technology Spillover Effect
National Economy
1 bn$ 1 bn$ 2.6 bn$
Technology
Research Spillover
Products &
Development

9. Effects on National Economy
“The JAS 39 Gripen development program
has generated (in the Swedish economy)
an additional social return to society ( a
spillover multiplier) more than twice the
original development investment.”
Gunnar Eliasson, Professor, Royal Institute
of Technology and the RATIO Institute,
2009.
