Resum

The present research work looks at differences in the rate of achievement of SDGs in 63 countries from around the world, and asks whether they could be explained by a series of institutional differences relating to the five following dimensions: the cultural system, the legal-political system, economic development, the system of education and labour, as well as innovation. The Matten and Moon (2008) as well as the “quintuple helix” models were used as a theoretical foundation. Our results highlight the crucial role played by public policies when it comes to achieving SDGs by improving institutional quality and governance systems as well as through the promotion of education spending and the innovation ecosystem. In that sense, the quintuple helix model seems to be a highly appropriate model to adapt, establishing relationships between the government, uni-versities and businesses in order to confront social and environmental challenges repre-sented by the SDGs
