國際科技園及創新區域協會（IASP）總裁的歡迎信：

歡迎各位參加第31屆國際科技園及創新區域協會（IASP）國際大會。

幾個世紀以來，科技發展和創新一直是經濟增長的動力，創新和創業精神是推動經濟發展的強大引擎。我們無法準確預測下一個大的創新領域是什么，但轉型創新的前景是巨大的。

全世界的科技園和創新區域為培養創新提供了適宜的環境，這將促進下一代商業企業的成長。

近400家科技園區和創新區域構成了IASP全球網絡，這些文化背景提供了豐富的專業人才資源，也是新商業創投和機會的強大平臺?？萍紙@和創新區域內部產生的網絡效應開創了積極的反饋路徑，研究和商業化之間的協同作用創立了一個旨在構建彈性、創新驅動的經濟文化。

今年，卡塔爾科技園（QSTP）將于2014年10月19日至22日在多哈的卡塔爾國家會議中心舉辦第31屆IASP國際會議。今年會議的主題是：“科技園區：技術將如何發揮作用”， 并將探討以下內容:科技園的技術開發催化劑作用；大學和研發中心的合作模式；科技園和入駐公司; STPs & AIs對社會的影響。

現在是時候考慮科技園區對新興新技術的重要性。期待您能在2014年10月于多哈加入我們。

誠摯祝愿，

Rick Weddle

國際科技園及區域創新協會總裁

Welcome Letter from IASP President

Welcome to the 31st IASP World Conference on Science Parks and Areas of Innovation.

Technological progress and innovation has been the catalyst for economic growth for centuries. Innovation coupled with entrepreneurial initiative is a powerful engine that drives growth. It is impossible to predict exactly what the next great area of innovation will be but the prospect for transformational innovation is enormous. Science parks and areas of innovation worldwide are providing the environment to nurture innovation that will launch the next generation of commercial enterprises.

Close to 400 science parks and areas of innovation make up the IASP worldwide network. These cultural hotbeds are a rich resource of skilled and specialised labour, and a formidable platform for new business ventures and opportunities. The networking effect generated within STPs & AIs creates a path of positive feedback and the synergy between research and commercialization creates a culture geared toward building a resilient, innovation driven economy.

This year, Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP) is hosting the 31st IASP World Conference at the Qatar National Convention Center, Doha, Qatar on October 19-22, 2014. The theme of this year’s conference is Science Parks; Where Technology Goes to Work! and will explore the following: the role of STPs as technology development catalysts; models of cooperation between universities and R&D Centres; STPs and their resident companies; and the impact that STPs & AIs have on society.

Now is the time to consider the significance of science parks in emerging new technologies. I hope you will join me in Doha in October 2014.

Sincerely,

Rick Weddle

President
