Meet the partners supporting IASP Sophia Antipolis 2026

The 43rd IASP World Conference is approaching, and a growing group of international and local partners is supporting our global community as we prepare to meet in Sophia Antipolis and Cannes from 27-30 October 2026.  

Under the theme “Tech for Humanity: Shaping values for a human-centric future”, this year’s conference will bring together leaders from science and technology parks, innovation districts and other areas of innovation, alongside researchers, entrepreneurs, companies and public-sector representatives from around the world.  

Our sponsors and partners reflect that diversity, bringing together organisations working across research, technology, education, finance, mobility and other sectors that form part of today’s innovation ecosystems.  

King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) joins us from Saudi Arabia as an Elite Sponsor. A member of the IASP community, KACST strengthens the international dimension of this year’s conference and its connections with research, science and technology development.  

KACST plays a central role in Saudi Arabia’s research, development and innovation ecosystem, supporting scientific research, technology development and the translation of research into practical applications. Its work spans a broad range of strategic and emerging technology fields, connecting researchers, innovators and industry. 

We thank local and institutional partners Stanford University, Skema Business School, Aeroport Nice Cote d’Azur, Amadeus, Starship, CA Provence Côte D'Azur, CSTB, ODT Antibes and we also welcome CDD Vault (USA), Konza Technopolis (Kenya) and DTV as knowledge, community and Networking sponsors supporting our event.

Together, these organisations help make it possible to bring the international IASP community together for four days of knowledge exchange, networking and collaboration. The support of our sponsors and partners has been instrumental in bringing the World Conference to life, IASP gratefully acknowledges their collaboration and contribution.  

IASP Sophia Antipolis 2026 takes place from 27-30 October, with conference sessions in Cannes and activities across the Sophia Antipolis innovation ecosystem.
