IASP in a few words

Our mission is to be the global network for science parks and areas of innovation, and to drive growth, internationalisation and effectiveness for our members.

What we do:

• coordinate an active network of managers of science/technology/research parks, innovation districts and other areas of innovation
• enhance new business opportunities for members and their companies
• increase the visibility of our members and multiply their global connections 
• represent parks and areas of innovation at international forums and institutions
• assist the development of new parks and areas of innovation

Who we are:

• A worldwide membership-based association founded in 1984
• An independent, non-profit, non-governmental organisation.
• Managed by experts in science and technology parks, innovation districts, areas of innovation and other innovation spaces.
  
• A Board of Directors made up of members from many different countries, with procedures that ensure we will always retain a true international identity: there cannot be more than two voting directors from the same country.
• A multilingual management team with World Headquarters in Malaga (Spain) and a branch office in Beijing (China).

The IASP forest

As part of our commitment to sustainability and the UN SDGs, we collaborate with Treedom, a web platform for remote tree planting, making the world greener one tree at a time. We have already started an IASP forest of cacao trees in Cameroon, and IASP members get their very own tree to add to it.
