<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze Triple Helix collaboration in an effort to increase the economic productivity of coffee farmers in Ulu Wae Village, East Lamba Leda District, East Manggarai Regency. The Triple Helix concept emphasizes synergy among the government, academia, and business actors as primary agents in driving innovation and local potential-based economic development. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the local government through the Agriculture Office, coffee farmers, as well as involved academics and business actors. The analytical framework used is Emerson and Nabatchi’s (2015) collaboration framework, which encompasses system context, drivers of collaboration, collaboration dynamics, as well as actions, outcomes, and adaptation. The results indicate that Triple Helix collaboration in Ulu Wae Village is operational, yet not fully optimal. The government plays a role in providing policy and production facilities, academia contributes through mentoring and knowledge transfer, while business actors assist with market access and increasing product added value. However, the collaboration still faces various obstacles, such as infrastructure limitations, weak coordination among actors, low utilization of information technology, and weak institutional capacity of farmers. This study concludes that strengthening a sustainable, structured, and needs-based Triple Helix collaboration is essential to enhance the productivity and economic welfare of coffee farmers in Ulu Wae Village.]]>
