Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the literature on the representation of the quadruple and
quintuple helix (QQH) in innovation environments such as incubators and science and technology parks (STPs).
Design/methodology/approach – The authors used the integrative review as a methodological
approach and systematized studies regarding the main research objectives; theoretical approaches;
methodology and study object; QQH representation, by identifying actor, performance and main results; and
additional contributions to the QQH model.
Findings – As a result, the authors noticed a lack of standardization on the representation of the quadruple
helix, but the example of associations and community centers as representatives of the civil society. The
quintuple helix does not have an actor that represents the environment, but STPs foster sustainable actions,
encourage the generation of green companies and stimulate sustainable practices among established companies.
Originality/value – Based on changes in the economic and social scenarios, new theoretical approaches
emerge to explain the innovation process, such as the QQH. Incubators and STPs are favorable settings for
interactions, according to the new models; however, there is a lack of studies addressing this topic in such
environments. Hence, this study contributes to understanding the existence and performance of QQH, by
showing how these new helices were identified, in addition to advancing the subject in innovation
environments such as incubators and STPs.
