, Luxembourg
Kort tekst:
This study focuses on how Science and Technology Parks and Areas of Innovation (STP/AOI) can attract SMEs to solve international challenges through cross-country collaboration. In doing so, 11 STPs/AOIs from nine European countries designed the Urban Tech project, aiming to develop solutions for the urban environment, focusing on Health Tech, Greentech and Smart Cities. In Urban Tech’s four phases, exploration, ideation, implementation, commercialisation, the most promising SMEs are stepwise awarded to develop international businesses. This paper reports the first two phases. In cross-country collaboration between the STPs/AOIs, methods for collecting challenges, open call and hackathons were developed. Over 300 challenges from 12 countries were collected and SMEs from 36 countries generated 559 solutions for 35 business-sectors. At eight international hackathons, 228 demonstration solutions were developed. Of these, 80 SMEs (37 cross-border SMEs) were awarded for the following phases, implementation and commercialisation. For inspiration, in-depth details of the process are provided.

, Luxembourg
Kort tekst:
Globalization is a worldwide megatrend, where people are increasingly connected, reducing barriers to transnational contacts. As companies seek to expand their activities beyond their borders, technology parks emerge as innovation environments that can help reduce the challenges and uncertainties of globalization by bringing universities, governments and the private sector together in development and innovation processes. Since the tendency of these innovation environments is to concentrate efforts on attracting international companies, Cross Acceleration programs prove to be a promising strategy both to help in this attraction and to support and boost the internationalization of national companies.

A Virtual Science Park Provides Innovation Opportunities to Drive the Global Marketplace

Promotional name of the event

Kyle Kilback

Kort tekst:

A world economy is closer than ever but continues to face challenges in the forms of protectionist policies, political and social tensions, and regulation. As the world progressively moves towards a virtual space, brick-and-mortar science parks, which are built to foster collaboration and innovation, are becoming increasingly disadvantaged.

These physical spaces work to provide businesses with access to local talent and shared local laboratories, which inherently inhibit globalisation. In order to move beyond borders to a global economy, we need to find ways to alleviate the restrictions of borders without physically removing them.

A virtual science park can provide a borderless innovation ecosystem to house data on talent (in the form of companies, researchers, and students), lab assets, and challenges faced by industry around the world.

Analyzing Innovation Ecosystems with a Complex Adaptive Systems Approach and its Impact on the Role of Science and Technology Parks; the Case of Iran Niroo Innovation Ecosystems

Promotional name of the event

, Luxembourg
Kort tekst:

This report delves into the vital realm of Innovation Ecosystems (IE) within the context of the water and power sector in Iran, employing a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) perspective. In an era where innovation plays a pivotal role in socio-economic growth, this study addresses the need to go beyond descriptive propositions and embrace practical implications.

By viewing IE as a CAS, we confront specific challenges linked to intervention strategies, starting points, and frameworks. The CAS approach calls for an adaptable and ever-evolving perspective that is responsive to the dynamic nature of innovation ecosystems. As CAS lacks fixed points for imposing values and norms, it highlights the significance of new normative systems.

In this landscape, Science and Technology Parks (STPs) emerge as potential orchestrators, provided they acknowledge complexity and uncertainty and enhance interactions within the ecosystem. This report not only offers a new lens for IE policy-making but also underscores the evolving role of STPs in nurturing innovation within complex systems.

Seven Megatrends that Call for Impact Innovation in Food Production

Promotional name of the event
40th IASP World Conference on Science Parks and Areas of Innovation
Per Frankelius
September 2023
, Luxembourg
Kort tekst:
We present in this paper seven megatrends that are not in innovation ecosystems but around these ecosystems. The megatrends lead to huge pressure on the world and especially food production. If these trends are not dealt with in an effective way, we think that the world faces a risk of collapse in 50-100 years. This calls for defining a mission and we suggest this definition: "Preventing the possible world collapse due to the combination of the seven megatrends". The good news is that there are ongoing impressive activities in technology development related to food production, not least agriculture. Innovation systems and science parks play an important role in the transformative process needed.

Kort tekst:
The Fourth Industrial revolution has been blurring the lines between the physical and digital spheres. Science and technology parks (STPs) cannot limit themselves to offering physical infrastructures, distinctive experimental facilities and services. It is now the time for a digital component, called the “Digital Multi-Science Park” to become the second pillar of the STPs and to improve and develop the services of the traditional STPs by providing an online one stop shop for all innovations services in the region, including access to technological technical assistance and prototyping and access to investors or market opportunities. Ensuring the sustainability and impact of STPs, the Digital Multi-Science Park will significantly accelerate the development of their physical infrastructures, support international collaboration and visibility of STPs, increase the number of investors, corporates and new residents taking part to it and improve their return on investment.

With two sample cases, this article illustrates an application-scenario-driven incubation model which is a practical way of helping energy transition of legacy industry from the angel of innovation ecology.

The article starts from the energy transition challenges that legacy industries are facing and pointed out that Science and Technology Parks (STPs) and accelerators could be an effective way of solving the problem. Apart from the STPs and accelerators, large enterprise could also support the development of new products, services and solutions with its intensive resources.

An application-scenario-driven incubation model which integrates the advantages of STPs, accelerators and large enterprises, are proved an effective way of driving the growth of the industry. SPIC Future Accelerator and Digital-Dual Decarbonization Accelerators are two typical cases which indicate that releasing application scenarios to startups can provide valuable benefits for both big companies and small businesses and the industrial transformation and upgrading.

Kort tekst:
Did you know that when you cut down a mature tree, you need to plant 3,068 seven-year-old trees to cover its carbon footprint? Did you know that three out of four food crops across the globe depend, at least in part, on pollinators[1]? What value do trees and bees have in technology parks? Trees provide shade, a variety of aromas and a feast for the eyes; and economic benefits – saving on heating and cooling and enhancing staff productivity. We work with trees and bees in our park. We started by rescuing mature trees and setting up two bee colonies, and are currently planning to develop three sites with 2-3 bee colonies each, as well as an educational trail for children. Our goal is to maximize the capacity of the trees and nature in our technology park to combat climate change, all based on the latest scientific findings and modern technologies.

Kort tekst:
Food scarcity is defined as the lack of consistent access to sufficient, nutritious, and safe food that allows an individual to maintain a healthy life. In recent years, this pressing issue has been aggravated by factors such as population growth, COVID-19, and armed conflicts. Therefore, the world is in need of efficient and timely decisive interventions to avoid this humanitarian crisis of food scarcity from reaching an irredeemable state. As such it is crucial for agricultural Science and Technology Parks (Agri-STPs) to positively influence the innovation approach and behavioural dynamics of producers, consumers, governments, initiatives like the World Food Programme (WFP) and organisations (such as SPI - Sociedade Portuguesa de Inovação) with the end goal of transforming the food system. This article aims to illustrate the substantial contributions of Agri-STPs in fostering and promoting innovation within the farming industry, with the focus on Precision agriculture.

Kort tekst:
One of the biggest problems for university researchers in Thailand is about utilizing and commercializing research. Some research is only on the laboratory scale. Some research requires time and process to change the technology readiness level, and some of them cannot find the market and investors. In the process of product commercialization, many valleys are presented starting from the research phase, development phase, and until commercialization phase. Therefore, most of the research ends up in the lab even though it is beneficial for many industries. On the other hand, the problems faced by entrepreneurs are not solved because they do not have enough knowledge and cannot find technologies that fulfill their needs. Therefore, there should be some mechanisms to fill these gaps and solve these problems.

, Luxembourg
Kort tekst:
In 2022, there were around 60 Technology Parks (TP) in Brazil. This Innovation Ecosystem is considered one of the most conducive environments for interaction between the agents of the fifth helix. However, managing a TP is complex, including the need for external subsidies until its maturity. For a TP to succeed, management must consider critical success factors (CSF) cited in the literature and the challenges of a post-pandemic world. Based on these propositions, the study proposes two research questions: How do heads of a TP adjust their strategies to grow towards maturity and financial sustainability? What is the future FCS forecast for TP? To answer the guiding questions, the case study methodology will use document analysis and narrative interview techniques, with which it will expect to obtain relevant data that can contribute to the management practices of TP.
