- 14. 4.- Understanding some preliminary concepts A Science & Technology Park (STP) is a Public initiative to create an Innovative Ecosystem, that increases Economic Development and attracts Private Investment in a “physical place”.
- 15. Understanding some preliminary concepts • When the initiative comes from the University, and focus the technology transfer and sectorial development, the STP can also be defined as a Science Park. • When the initiative comes from a territorial Administration, let’s say a province or a Municipality, and focus the territorial development, the SCT can also be defined as a Technology Park
- 16. Understanding some preliminary concepts • And when both focus are concerned, the STP is a “pure” STP. • In any case, a STP needs to – Establish a Governance model – Gather existing “knowledge assets” – Manage public private partnerships
- 17. 5.- The idea, the planning. • There are hundreds (if not thousands) of Science & Techno Park in the world. • Every City, every University, wants to build its own Science & Techno Park
- 18. The idea, the planning. The new STP has to be properly defined: – The partners – The place – The economic sectors to be addressed – The competitors – The finances – The timing
- 19. The idea, the planning. Strategic planning tools are a must • SWOT Analysis: Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities Threats • Cambas model
- 20. 6.- What do we already have? The original assets. • University Knowledge & City Experience • Research & Development Departments • Technological Centres • Spin offs • Entrepreneurial programs • City Incubators for enterprises
- 21. 7.- What do we need to start? Some preliminary decisions have to be taken on: • The place • The economic sectors • The finances • The governance
- 22. 8.- And, what do we need to follow up? Work in deep on these issues…. The place • Open grounds and/or buildings.

- 23. And, what do we need to follow up? Work in deep on these issues…. The economic sectors: • Bio & Pharma • ICT - Information & communication Technologies, • Robotics, Engineering, Space • Arts, Creative Industry
- 24. And, what do we need to follow up? Work in deep on these issues…. Financing (one shot initial founding & annual recurrent founding) • From University • From Government • From Competitive projects • Private
- 25. And, what do we need to follow up? Work in deep on these issues….

- 26. 9.- What are we asked? University demands • Space for Spin offs • Transfer (selling) of technology • Industry (buying) contracts • Private investment
- 27. What are we asked? Industry demands • University prestige • Low cost projects • Commitment in time & budget Government demands • Pole of economic development • International presence
- 28. 10.- Putting the assets together The University & the City already have • Research Centres, • Technological Centres • Spin offs • Entrepreneurial programs • City Incubators for enterprises ….that have to be put together under the STP umbrella
- 29. 11.- Is there anything else? • Yes…. • The launching • The communication • The international relations and associations
- 30. 12.- Main conclusions • Do not forget Strategic Planning • Focus on people. Manage expectations • Focus on feasibility. Manage resources • Focus on governance and organization.
