The Forum will focus on partnerships between the science and technology parks and international business communities. Science and technology parks can be an effective mechanism for national, regional and international development of integrated strategies for building research, innovation, training and economic development through appropriate strategic development of emerging technologies. Regional and international networking is a way to utilize existing worldwide expertise and maximize benefits at the national and regional levels. In addition to providing space for business and production, the science and technology park should house centers for science and technology research, innovation and incubation, training, and forecasting, as well as facilities for fairs, exhibitions and market development through popularization.
