About the XXV Conference Conference Objective To promote an understanding of the 'how and why' of implementing, sustaining, and growing science & technology parks. Presentations will include best practices and impact data. All of which is intended to contribute to furthering regional interest in science & technology park models, and to raise political and public awareness of the role of science & technology parks in the economy. Main Theme The role of science parks in accelerating knowledge economy growth – contrasts between emerging and more developed economies. What is meant by 'knowledge economy'? The more frequent use of reference to knowledge or knowledge-based economy, is used in the context of the use of knowledge to produce economic benefits. The term is often used when describing today's transitional global economy and our inter-connected world, and in the context of the need of 'know-how' resources being more critical than other economic resources. That context usually includes the need to embrace industry and private sector knowledge management with related public policy. An important aspect of knowledge economy thinking is wisdom. Wisdom invokes questions of judgement, ethics, experience and intuition, all of which are necessary for the best application of knowledge. Sub-themes Abbreviation: STP [Science & Technology Park]
