Abstract
The German Mittelstand model of the triple helix has been important for facilitating the innovation of small medium enterprises (SMEs) in Germany. Fraunhofer Institutes have provided an innovation intermediary between university research and SME technology. We address the issue of adapting a Mittelstand triple helix from the German national culture into other cultures, particularly to South Korea. For this, we develop a general model of a Mittelstand triple helix.
