New President for the IASP Advisory Council

Jean-François Balducchi (France) has been appointed as the new President of the IASP Advisory Council.

As a long-standing member of the IASP community, Jean-François Balducchi  has extensive experience in our industry, matured in the many years serving as CEO of Atlanpole (France). He has previously been part of the IASP International Board of Directors serving terms as European Division President, Treasurer and International President. His many years of experience in our association and industry, as well as his extensive knowledge of STPs,  AOIs and other innovation ecosystems will prove extremely valuable to the activities of the IASP Think Tank.

Completing the Advisory Council we have Deepanwita Chattopadhyay (India), Paul Jansen (The Netherlands), Martin Goroško (Estonia), and Carina Rapetti (Argentina), spanning knowledge on different innovation spaces and best practices within our industry. See the full IASP Advisory Council here.

Jean-François Balducchi takes over the Advisory Council presidency from Luis Sanz, who retires after serving  as Advisory Council President and previously having run the association as Director General for more than 20 years. We express our gratitude for his leadership, guidance, and great work in creating the global community the association is known for today. Thank you, Luis, and best wishes to Jean-François for a brilliant term leading our Think Tank!
