Abstract

In the face of multiple contemporary crises, this work adopts an action-research approach and systematizes practices carried out between 2022 and 2024, based on the quintuple helix methodology, which integrates government, academia, the productive sector, civil society, and the environment. The outcomes range from ESG diagnostics and training programs to sustainable business acceleration initiatives, engagement with public policies, and community and environmental outreach. The study concludes that, by bringing together diverse stakeholders around systemic and place-based solutions, the CIS reaffirms the role of science and technology parks as spaces for responsible, collaborative innovation aimed at social and ecological transformation.
