The Application of Triple-Helix Model in Agricultural Sector of Croatia

Since the nineties the technological development and various innovative activities have been considered to be the most important sources of productivity rise and of the material welth of every country. The improvement of the competitive position has been broadly based upon knowledge, i.e. the abillity to develop new products and methods and apply them when answering to the development challenges of a company, economic sectors and the economy in general. Knowledge is regarded as the common welfare that can be shared by all human beings without loosing its value. The companies are directed to R&D activity and their cooperation with the researching institutions becomes more intensive. However, prevailing are the indirect ties between companies and the researching institutions. Building and spreading of knowledge has been markedly interactive and intensive process, but it is necessary to develop mechanisms that would stimulate the company ability to build knowledge, to create links with other companies and with own R&D environment. Consequently, the usual role of an university has been more frequently redefined to the role of creating the source of knowledge which is having an indirect influence upon the development of industrial innovations and entrepreneurship. Nowadays, in numerous countries, the regional economic development has been encouraged by the government policy through relying on universities, R&D institutes and small and medium sized companies. Creating the system of relations among the universities, industry and state for the purpose of providing for the conditions necessary for transition into the knowledge-based society can be operationalized by Triple-Helix model. The model is based on commercialization of researching where universities, industries and governments take part, and, therefore is regarded to be the relevant methodological approach for faster development of socio-economic system in Europe and Nordic countries, as well as the development of innovative centres that would serve as supports to the small and medium-sized entrepreneurship in Italy, modern Russia and similar. In such model environment, the government, by taking different measures, including securing of financial sources for R&D and creating of nets of small and medium-sized companies, determines the main directions of the sector and region development of the country. Projects having particular interests and common social importance are being formulated. The companies are focused on creating new products or technologies, and in an feedback operation, suggest the fields of research to the universities and R&D organizations. The authors, in the mentioned context, analyse projects in the agricultural sector of Croatia, which projects are based on the application of in-vitro technology in production of seed potatoes and pyrethrum flowers (Chrysanthemum cinerariefolium). The former project is undergoing the accomplishment stage, i.e. the first tone of the seed material, free of viruses, cultivated in green-house conditions, has been produced and planted on plough-fields for further multiplication. The latter project is in the phase of goals determination, scope planning and defining of the relations that would create the Triple-Helix model matrix as the prerequisite for the successful project launching. Both projects have been assessed important in terms of the country economic development since they relate to one of the strategic agricultural products - seed potatoes are still imported and the importing dependence of the country is beyond dispute. In the other example, pyrethrum is considered to be the basic product in the development of ecological agriculture. The accomplishment of the projects illustrated above presume linking of the sources of knowledge, the applicable ones in particular (universities, green-house production), with the industrial production (a large farming production capable to ensure the production base for commercialization of knowledge and a group of subcontraction relations), as well as the economic policy incentives in the accomplishment of R&D of the projects' development part, financing, employment policy etc. The authors conclude on the usage of the research findings with respect to (1) planning of the agricultural sector development strategy, particularly the development of certain farming products and regions (areas of special government concern, islands and similar) ; (2) creating of the development stimulation system corresponding to the goals defined by the development strategy ; (3) concretization of the role of universities, of certain faculties, i.e. certain R&D institutions in the process of building and spreading of knowledge.
