Using the triple helix framework built by Etzkowitz and Leydesdoff (2000), this research aims to elaborate the role of academician, business, and government in Bandung to support the local government to reach its vision as service city in Indonesia. The paper investigated the nature, relative scale, and contribution of each party in accordance with vision, mission and strategic goals of Bandung. It also explored the capabilities required by the society to derive value from the collaboration of each party. Analysis of all data both primary and secondary will result in a form of conceptual model and will be discussed in this study. The empirical result will become a useful model foundation for the government of Bandung, also for the central government of Indonesia.
