This presentation intends to illustrate how Technology Parksare strategic factors for regional development
as well as to present the vision and experience of AREA Science Park
in developing and managing innovation at the largest inter-regional extent.
– Innovation
the competitiveness of a territory is determined by the innovative activities carried out by the
entire economic, productive and government system, so that it is necessary to set up territorial
innovation systems and to build capacities to manage them
– Collaboration
a good inter-functional network between industry – particularly SMEs – and RTD organizations –
particularly universities – accelerate the innovation development
– Internationalization
SMEs have not enough resources and know-how to dedicate to internationalization and new
markets search so that specialized support in international marketing and networking is a
fundamental factor for innovative business growth
– Smart specialisation
