In order to overcome the innovation gap, the concept of Knowledge Triangle (KT) and Knowledge Triangle Integration (KTI) is gaining interest within national and European policies. It also functions as the cornerstone of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), which has a prominent role in Europe’s Horizon2020 strategy to reinforce the innovation performance of the EU Member States. An improved elaboration and a more efficient implementation of the concepts KT and KTI is pursued in this research. The main purpose is therefore to unveil the essence of the concepts KT and KTI, by transforming the developed knowledge into ‘knowledge in action’. In this way the proposed KTI tool contributes to the transformation of Europe’s developed knowledge into innovation.
