Technology, Market, and Company journeys: how can we help them succeed?

The science park movement has evolved providing passive property developments to locations that have become active parts of the infrastructure that contribute to economic development by utilising knowledge outputs. This transformation has involved developing a number of strategies. These include the refinement of the range of business development programmes on offer which includes pre, full. and post incubation activities as well as working their way into developing and influencing regional development programmes such as innovation systems. In addition to the value of the physical assets that create the focal point of science parks their importance derives from the combination of stakeholders each of which has their own value propositions, the presence of on site management and an association with a host that generates skills and technology.
