SERNA PEREZ, María Guadalupe. Collaboration between public research centers for regional development: a case analysis in Aguascalientes, Mexico. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.77, pp.223-269.  Epub Feb 12, 2021. ISSN 1665-0565.  https://doi.org/10.32870/eees.v27i77.7054.

This article examines the economic, social and political context in which a strategic collaborative project based on the Triple Helix model to boost regional development emerges. The creation of a collaborative effort between public research centers to develop supply chains for the automotive and auto parts industry is taken as an example. It is used the case of the process of creation of the Center of Innovation and Technological Transfer of Aguascalientes for the Automotive Sector (CITTAA), in Aguascalientes, Mexico. The descriptive analysis emphasizes the time it took to set up the proposal, the short duration of a six-year term for the goal of promoting regional economic development, and the difficulties of establishing and promoting articulated collaboration between the actors of a triple helix.
