The IASP Inspiring Solutions Programme
Inspiring Solutions is IASP’s award programme to recognise excellence within science park and area of innovation management, and give visibility to the best projects and initiatives. It also creates a library of best practices that other STPs/AOIs around the world can implement for themselves.
The solutions might be new ideas in any area of activity carried out by science parks and areas of innovation. They could be services provided to companies; new ideas in business incubation, acceleration or soft landing; new approaches to networking, internationalisation, or attracting talent; or initiatives to collaborate with the city and strengthen the whole innovation ecosystem.
Every year, 10 finalists are selected by an expert panel, before IASP members vote for the three winners who are announced live at our Annual World Conference.
The 2025 programme is now open!
Visit www.iaspinspiringsolutions.com to submit your Inspiring Solution by the 23rd of April 2025.
Find out more about finalists from previous years in our best practices library, and get inspired by watching the playlists featuring entries from 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 on our YouTube channel.
