IASP 2017

科学园和创新领域国际科技园协会第34届世界大会

Dear IASP World Conference delegates,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the 34th IASP annual World Conference in Istanbul, Turkey, where our community from around the world will come together to explore new ideas for the future of innovation ecosystems.

IASP has long been a global reference on science and technology parks, fully grasping the opportunities and movements connected to innovation, understanding the evolution of the traditional parks and the new role of cities in the urban, economic and social transformation. Beyond being local innovation ecosystems, we recognise that our parks must be global connectors of the worldwide innovation ecosystem.

Our network provides the global platform that connects our members, and this World Conference creates an unparalleled opportunity for making international connections, exchanging knowledge about our local ecosystems, and learning from each other to become truly global.

I look forward to sharing experiences and expertise with our world community when we all meet in September.

Josep Piqué

IASP President
