(APSTI)
International Association of Science Park (IASP) Definition
• Science and Technology Parks are the perfect habitat for businesses and institutions of the global knowledge economy
• Science & Technology Parks promote the economic development and competitiveness of regions and cities by: – Creating new business opportunities and adding value to mature
companies– Fostering entrepreneurship and incubating new innovative companies – Generating knowledge-based jobs – Building attractive spaces for the emerging knowledge workers – Enhancing the synergy between universities and companies.

New technical-scientificentrepreneurship
A more ‘straightforward’ and pragmatic definition
• Infrastructures: A piece of serviced land and buildings hosting:• R&D labs, possibly university departments• Technology-based firms• Start-up and spin-off companies (within incubator
facilities)
• Services: A staff dedicated to establish and develop sustainable relationship between the scientific community and businesses through e.g. strategic advice, technology transfer support and contract research services 5
Why a Science &Technology Park
• Improving competitiveness:• We all are part of a worldwide knowledge economy• No country can be competitive in the mid-term only
through low labour costs• Innovation is the key: the STP is expected to bridge the
gap between research and industry• Beneficiaries of improved competitiveness:
• Business / industry: new sectors (ICT, biotech) as well as ‘traditional’ sectors (agrofood, textile, mechanical engineering)
• City / Region where the STP is established (and the country)
6
• Creating knowledge-based jobs:• Through support to technology-based businesses,
start-ups and spin-offs: opportunities for new highly qualified jobs
• Beneficiaries: • Ph. D and post docs• Also Master levels• University : attracting more high level students because
of future job opportunities • The country itself: general upgrading of human resources

Why a Science &Technology Park
Science Parks trends• And now ? What are the main trends ?
• The concept of STP is getting closer to the concept of cluster:• "Geographic concentrations of interconnected companies, specialised
suppliers, service providers, firms in related industries, and associated institutions (for example, universities, standards agencies, and trade associations) in particular fields that compete but also co-operate“ (Michaël Porter)
• STP can be instruments for boosting innovation within clusters, and in some cases,, for building up a cluster
• The ‘Triple Helix’ model as a basis for boosting innovation in a region:
• University + research /• Business-industry • Public authorities • (+finance)

Science parks are selective

§ Identify the need- where is the need?- what is the customer trying to accomplish?
§ Identify the value to the customer- why will it be used and how important is it?
§ Need + Value = Potential Opportunity
§ Customers will not pay the entire value- how much of the value created can you extract for profit?- when are benefits realized vs. when costs are incurred by customers? payback period;
§ Willingness to pay and ability to earn profit (value – cost) addressable opportunity
§ If your addressable opportunity is a good one, others will try to follow.- what is different?- what are your barriers to entry?àlead time ® first moverà market channelsà intellectual propertyà complementary partnerships/networksà distruptive technology

ØOne stop shop for:
ØInterface with local public administrations for e.g.:
ØRegional Financing
ØAuthorizationsØSupport for relations with national and/or european institutions
e.g.:
Ø AuthorisationsØNational funding
ØManagement of investments and/or customizations of labs andfacilities
ØFacility management and general services to lesees
ØConsulting capabilities (managerial, marketinf, scientific, technical,safety issues etc)
ØNetworking with companies and research institutions
