Abstract
Extractivism is one of the main economic sources in the country. However, this activity produces socio-environmental liabilities in the host territories, making well-being and work alternatives unfeasible. As a way of circumventing the impacts, intersectoral partnerships are formed to overcome “Mining-Dependency”. To better understand this phenomenon, a single case study was carried out in order to understand the territorial development projects between university, city hall and mineral extractive industry, located in Itabira - MG. The city of Itabira is the birthplace of a large mining company and records a deadline for the depletion of its mineral reserves for the year 2028. Through documentary research and semi-structured interviews, it was possible to recognize the alignment of the population's reality with the development project. Preliminary results indicate that the project of economic dynamization led by the university is erratic, still benefiting the local economy in a superficial way and not integrated with the desires of the local community. Projects aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and innovation have not shown preeminence. In this way, new research may arise when rethinking the role of the Triple Helix in territories impacted by extractivism, including civil society as an actor of the Fourth Helix.
