Abstract
This exploratory and descriptive study aims to analyze the impacts and effectiveness of a public innovation policy promoted by a city hall in a Brazilian state capital involving startups, large companies, and a scientific and technological institution between 2017 and 2019; the purpose of this study is to promote economic development and address urban problems common to large metropolises. The strategy adopted, inspired by the propositions of the Triple Helix, was able to bring together startups, large companies, a city hall, and an important representative of academia. The results indicate the evolution of indicators of entrepreneurship in the city and present important lessons for the formulation of municipal innovation policies in Brazil.
