Abstract: One of the biggest challenges for the economic science is understanding sustainable practices of innovation. In this sense, we analysed factors contributing to the improvement and continuity of partnerships between university, government, and industry. For this, we observed institutional partnerships in Pará (Amazon region) according to the structure of the Triple Helix model. We applied the data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure their technological productivity and the social network analysis (SNA) to illustrate their connections. We found that the insufficiency of the transformation industry might have limited the entrepreneurial potential of universities and the development of the innovation system in that region. This way, our experiment contributes to the Amazon innovation system (AIS) knowledge and attends to recent calls to adapt traditional models to present different realities of technological collaboration.
