Innovative Place-Based Triple Helix Approaches for Regional Development through Smart Specialisation Strategies 28-29 June, 2019 St Mary’s University, Waldegrave Suite, UK From STP to Smart Specialization: What Have We Learned and Where Are We Heading Jorge Audy, TECNOPUC Science and Technological Park (PUCRS) Final Keynote Context Transition going on… - The future of STP will be the City - From traditional STP to Areas of Innovation Context Science Park is an organisation managed by specialised professionals, whose main aim is to increase the wealth of its community by promoting the culture of innovation and the competitiveness of its associated businesses and knowledge-based institutions. To enable these goals to be met, a Science Park stimulates and manages the flow of knowledge and technology amongst universities, R&D institutions, companies and markets; it facilitates the creation and growth of innovation-based companies through incubation and spin-off processes; and provides other value-added services together with high quality space and facilities. We are talking about specific located projects at Triple Helix Approach Context Areas of Innovation are places designed and curated to attract entrepreneurial-minded people, skilled talent, knowledge-intensive businesses and investments, by developing and combining a set of infrastructural, institutional, scientific, technological, educational and social assets, together with value added services, thus enhancing sustainable economic development and prosperity with and for the community. Context There are many different models of areas of innovation – spanning from the broader city or region model with innovation activities in different locations within the area, to more place-specific projects like innovation districts, knowledge quarters, science parks, innovation hubs and the like. As a common feature they all have a management team tasked to execute a strategy conducive to growing innovation activity in the area. We are talking about cities and regions, at Smart Specialization and Quadruple Helix approach! Context From Triple do Quadruple Helix Innovation Environments involve two dimensions: Areas of Innovation Context (name internationally adopted by the International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation - IASP) and Mechanisms for the Generation of Business. In Brazil, the name Innovation Ecosystem was also adopted as a synonym for Areas of Innovation. Each of these dimensions has different Mechanisms for the Generation of Business that operate with a high degree of interaction. Therefore, Science and Technology Parks are one of the possible types of Areas of Innovation and Incubators and Accelerators are some of the types of Mechanisms for the Generation of Business. Context A new approach Central aspect of AIs is related to the hybrid use of space, often with urban interventions, involving: ENVIRONMENTS to live, have fun and work; 1 COEXISTENCE between business and people; 2 PRACTICE of the cross-fertilization concept; and 3 A DIMENSION of intelligent life in urban areas, with the support of technology and innovation at people’s service. 4 Context PARKS ARE NOT IN THE CITIES ANYMORE, THEY ARE THE CITIES. THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IS NOT WHERE (PHYSICAL SPACE) BUT WHAT WE DO.
