Tom Bentley

Executive Director

Melbourne Innovation Districts, Australia

“IASP’s global network, focused on advancing innovation through partnerships, is an incredible opportunity. The exchange of knowledge, talent, and ideas is vital worldwide, and IASP membership helps RMIT University and the Melbourne Innovation District partnership foster valuable collaborations.

I have met great people, learned from analysis and data, and made surprising connections. Through the growing alliance of Innovation Districts, we strengthen our home-grown approach to inclusive, cross-sector innovation.”

Paquita Cucalón

CEO

ZEDE del Litoral, Ecuador

“As a member of IASP’s global community, I benefit from the exchange of ideas and best practices with experts from around the world. This collaboration helps promote international science parks and connects groundbreaking research to practical applications. Together, we work towards a brighter future through shared knowledge and cooperation.”

John Paul Okwiri

CEO

Konza Technopolis, Kenya

“As one of Africa’s first greenfield smart cities, Konza Technopolis has benefited greatly from the collaboration and resource sharing among IASP members. This network has provided us with valuable knowledge, support, and best practices to develop our project. IASP represents a dynamic community where partnerships flourish, ideas thrive, and the future is shaped.”

Reem Philby

Head

KAUST Research and Technology Park, Saudi Arabia

“KAUST Research and Technology Park has been a valued member of IASP for many years. This prestigious network has enhanced our understanding of best practices, provided excellent networking opportunities, and increased awareness of KRTP and the research park experience in Saudi Arabia.

IASP’s Strategigram tool, for example, enabled us to refine our strategic planning and evaluate our growth and collaboration amongst others. We are proud to be part of IASP and look forward to ongoing productive collaborations.”

Roland Sillman

CEO

Berlin Adlershof, Germany

“One of the most important tasks of STP management is to recognise future trends at an early stage and take action. Gaining inspiration from international experts who have already explored these trends is crucial for generating creative ideas. At IASP, I find these discussions and inspiration, both at conferences and when visiting STP and AOI colleagues.”

Karine Guilbault

General Manager

Saint-Hyacinthe Technopole, Canada

“IASP has been instrumental in the development and success of our agri-food innovation ecosystem and associated science park. As one of the first in Canada to join IASP, our full membership has enhanced our credibility with national and international partners.

It has also given us access to an exceptional network dedicated to innovation, enabling us to share expertise and technology. IASP provides valuable resources that help us benchmark against the best in the field and continuously improve our practices.
