![]() This needs multi-actors interacting at various organization levels, from village to the world. Humanity must find creative solutions to address significant challenges, both in innovation and sustainable development. It is dangerous to isolate sustainable development without using innovation, vice versa. Rapid technological change such as big data, the Internet, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, nanotechnology and renewable energy represents a significant opportunity to achieve the SDGs but poses new challenges for (human) resource markets and environmental carrying capacity, raising ethical questions about perpetuating inequalities. Science and technology offer many tools for improving the understanding of risks and possibilities and for guiding different lines of action. Technological progress has both positive and negative effects on humanity and the planet, bringing with it a persisting and unresolved controversy over the balance between reward and risk. ![]() Harnessed together, the Triple Helix twins provide a framework for SDGs attainment. Although a four-actor system is far away from satisfaction, an expanded model is required to incorporate the critical issues of reconciling innovative and sustainable development. Debate over expanding the Triple Helix model has focused on whether the fourth and fifth helix might improve or disrupt the triadic model. Achieving the UN SDGs requires education institutions, governments, non-government organizations and individuals to commit to collaborations, adopting dynamically interacting triple helices to unite innovative development and sustainable development. A project for collaborative world region development of advanced solar photovoltaics is then suggested as an exemplar. ![]() Adding a risk space and raising the “Triple Helix Spaces” concept to the world level are also proposed as a methodology to fulfill related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through joint projects transcending national borders. Twinning the two retains the dynamic properties of a tertius gaudens in the framework which addresses environment, resource protection, social change and equality issues. This study invents a Triple Helix of university-public-government for sustainable development, as a complement to the Triple Helix of university-industry-government for innovation.
