Abstract
The paper presents a successful Triple helix collaboration between university, industry and government that resulted in commercialisation of a sustainable new product within the aircraft industry. The case presented is a result of a government funded student project between a high-tech organisation and a mechanical engineering faculty, which fully supports the notion of how Triple helix organisations work. The solution (i.e. new product developed via Triple helix collaboration) has been prototyped, improved, manufactured and already sold to users.
