Regional Collaborative Innovation Ecosystem STPs as Enablers in Globally Oriented Regional Areas of Collaborative Innovation

This paper describes how science and technology parks and other innovation supporting subjects like accelerators, incubators… (STPs) located in a small countries or in a less developed region are tackling challenges of customizing services to the real needs of innovation ecosystem stakeholders; how they face problems of growth when possibilities for organic growth with infrastructure development are insufficient; how they attract technology and talent (TxT) from the wider region and foster its monetization; and how several pilot projects were implemented resulting in the final provenmethodology for STPs development that together form a globally oriented regional area ofcollaborative innovation.
