The robotics characteristic industry park, as the core carrier of the robotics industry cluster ecosystem, is a key platform for promoting technological research and development, achievement commercialization, and ecosystem construction.

The North Rift Green Industrial Park (NRGIP) in Baringo County is a transformative initiative aimed at positioning Kenya as a regional leader in industrialization and high-tech manufacturing. Powered by renewable geothermal energy from Paka Hills, NRGIP will integrate advanced manufacturing, smart city infrastructure, and sustainable industrial practices to drive economic growth, job creation, and regional trade.

Africa’s digital economy is projected to grow from $180 billion in 2025 to $712 billion by 2050 yet youth unemployment remains a pressing challenge, despite rising education levels. Technology is reshaping industries and unlocking new opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship. 

Innovation drives economic growth and technological advancement, but traditional closed systems often fall short in addressing complex global issues. This paper investigates the potential and challenges of open innovation, using Konza Technopolis in Kenya as a case study to illustrate how science and technology parks foster collaborative ecosystems.

Innovation hubs are critical drivers of high-quality development in today’s interconnected world. TIGZ GmbH, a leading Start-Up Hub, exemplifies this by building a robust open innovation ecosystem that connects start-ups, corporates, research institutions, and international partners.

Innovation spaces are evolving ecosystems that foster creativity, research, and entrepreneurship. The rising need for flexible, high-tech workspaces, advanced laboratories, and collaborative environments driven by digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and sustainability imperatives calls for adaptable infrastructure to meet the demands of rapidly advancing technologies.

The rapid evolution of urban landscapes demands a new approach for integrating STPs into cities. City 5.0 provides the framework for STP 5.0, enabling it to become a driver of urban transformation. Four integration models are proposed: Innovation Nucleus, Symbiotic Co-Governance, Distributed Innovation Ecosystem, and Embedded Intelligence.

This paper examines the role of Science and Technology Parks (STPs) and Areas of Innovation (AOIs) in the entrepreneurship ecosystem by fostering sectoral micro acceleration programs (MAPs) and attracting new partners to the ecosystem.

This article discusses the role of cross-acceleration programs as tools to strengthen international open innovation ecosystems, focusing on the Brasilesia program, an initiative between Brazil and Poland led by tecnoPARQ.

The Hub of Talents for Plasma Technology (HPlas) at Science and Technology Park (STeP), Chiang Mai University (CMU), exemplifies International Open Innovation (IOI), driving interdisciplinary research, cross-sector collaboration, and global knowledge exchange in plasma and fusion technology.

Chiang Mai University’s Science and Technology Park (STeP) plays a crucial role in driving urban transformation and economic development in Northern Thailand. As urbanization accelerates, cities face challenges such as environmental degradation, traffic congestion, and social inequality.

In an era of rapid technological disruption and shifting global economic landscapes, science parks are no longer just innovation facilitators—they must become engines of transformation. This paper examines the future trajectory of science parks in Thailand over the next decade.

This paper examines regional collaborative innovation in Zhongguancun, analyzing its vital role in national development strategies and practical implementation. Zhongguancun is key to promoting high-quality economic growth, bolstering national innovation, fostering regional coordination, and executing major national plans.

Focusing on the Changping Technology Industry Fund-of-Funds Cluster, this article examines the investment effectiveness of patient capital in supporting entrepreneurial enterprises
