Abstract: Ethnic minority areas,with relative backward social and economic development,weak industrial foundation and slow process of urbanization,hold important strategic position in our country.The key to effectively solving the development dilemma is to realize the integration of industry,urbanization and education.The triple helix theory is theoretically appropriate to study the integration of industry,urbanization and education in the ethnic minority areas.The inherent logic of integration is as follows:in the triple helix of industry,urbanization and education,the ethnic industry is the core,the small and medium-sized towns are the carrier,and the vocational education is the driving force.And the talents,as the link,can enhance the degree of integration of knowledge,consensus and innovation.Effective ways to promote the integration of industry,urbanization and education in the ethnic minority areas,in which vocational education drives knowledge space,small and medium-sized towns carry consensus space,ethnic industry creates innovation space,and the talents promote the integration of the three space.

Key words: ethnic minority areas, integration of industry,urbanization and education, volcational education, triple helix theory
