Abstract—This research focuses on the development of Triple Helix synergy involving the government, private sector, and academia in the management of the Dieng Geopark to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to environmental conservation. Currently, the geopark’s status has not been recognized as a national geopark, despite being proposed by the government since 2021. This study employs a descriptive qualitative methodology, collecting primary data through observations and supporting documents. Initial results indicate that the Banjarnegara and Wonosobo Regency Governments act as managers in synergy with the Central Java Provincial Government, connected with PT Geo Dipa Energi as a facilitator and Gadjah Mada University as an innovator in developing the potential of the Dieng Geopark. The main findings of this research highlight significant collaborative efforts to elevate the Dieng Geopark’s status to national recognition. The synergy between the government, private sector, and academia is expected to strengthen geopark management, increase public awareness, and promote sustainable local economic development. This study provides important insights into the roles of each actor in achieving common goals and the contribution of the Dieng Geopark to the achievement of the SDGs. Additionally, the research examines the dominant roles played by each actor as key players in implementing the Triple Helix synergy innovation.
