Abstract

The paper explores the newly released plan for innovation-based development for Poland—known as the Morawiecki Plan—from the perspective of the Triple Helix model of University–Business–Government interactions. We start by reviewing the literature on the Triple Helix model and assess its relevance to the reform of the Polish national innovation system. We then examine key elements in the construction of a Triple Helix system in Poland in the period 2007–2014, identifying some mistakes that affect the current functionality of the national innovation system. We then critically analyze the most recent strategic changes proposed under the Morawiecki Plan, drawing on the experiences of benchmark countries similar to Poland, which have successfully gone through the transition from a traditional economy to an open innovative economy. We conclude that strengthening and rebalancing the Triple Helix system in Poland is an essential condition for the successful implementation of the Morawiecki Plan.
