| Abstract |
The article contains a critical analysis of the Triple Helix model - both on a theoretical plane and in the context of its application to the functioning of the Bialystok Science and Technology Park (BSTP). The authors stress that the Triple Helix model should be adjusted to local conditions. Its implementation requires modifications that take into account both the current state and future goals, which should ensure socio-economic development of the city. The BSTP, founded by the local self-government, plays the key role in the city development. While being a hybrid institution, it creates proper conditions to generate innovative undertakings which are necessary for the implementation of smart city concept in Bialystok. The authors maintain that Bialystok is at the stage of integrating science and business, but ultimately the public sector should restrict its activity to 'support on demand'. Current success of local companies in the STP is a sign of effective implementation of the smart city concept, which is beneficial for the citizens. |
