Step into the spotlight at IASP 2026 Sophia Antipolis: partner with us

The International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation is heading to the French Riviera for its 43rd World Conference from 27-30 October, and your organisation has the chance to be showcased as a sponsor. This is a great opportunity to increase your exposure at our most important gathering of the year. Your brand will be exposed to industry leaders from Areas of Innovation (AOIs), Innovation Districts (IDs) and Science and Technology Parks (STPs), as well as academia, business, policymakers and knowledge partners come together. 

By partnering up with us for IASP Sophia Antipolis, your brand will have the opportunity to be positioned at the heart of our global community that thrives on innovation, entrepreneurship and international collaboration. Partners gain strategic exposure and visibility with branding visibility throughout conference activities, communications and the venue itself. 

On previous editions of the World Conference, some high-profile sponsors have been welcomed, such as Vodafone, Huawei, Airbus, Renfe and IE University, among many of the world’s top innovation spaces. Whether you are an established name, an emerging player, or one of our IASP members, this is your chance to stand alongside the best in the field and make meaningful connections with peers and potential partners. 

Have a look at our sponsorship brochure to explore a range of packages, from Elite, Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers to targeted, high-visibility opportunities as an Innovation, Knowledge or Networking Sponsor. Sponsors can align with some of our most popular initiatives, including the Pre-Conference Training Seminar, the Inspiring Solutions Awards, and the IASP App. For a more tailored approach, fully customised packages can be designed to match specific objectives and maximise impact. 

Exhibition opportunities are also available, offering strong on-site visibility and strategic positioning within the conference venue. Sponsors benefit from premium exposure across all IASP channels before, during and during the event, including the conference app, printed materials, on-site signage and digital communications. The exhibition booth provides a dedicated branded space to engage with participants, foster meaningful connections and showcase your organisation. More than visibility, exhibiting offers direct access to key stakeholders and a platform to demonstrate your contribution to innovation within the IASP network.
