From April 23 to 25, Jeju will host the 7th Asian Science Park Association (ASPA) Leaders Meeting, which will be attended by some of Asia’s top personnel in scientific technology and industry as well as heads of state. Under discussion will be ways to better utilize science parks in the region.

A science park is as a well-organized complex that serves as a foundation to further knowledge industries like IT from a business point of view. The Jeju Science Park (JSP), built by the Jeju Free International City and opened on March 25, 2010 in Ara-dong, Jeju City, was established to help bring to life the government’s goal of making Jeju a Free International City.

Under the theme of “Future Strategies of Asian Science Parks — Competitive Business in the Smart Era” there will be two plenary sessions, two ASPA Round Table meetings, a tour of the JSP, and a few exhibition and networking sessions.

“I believe this meeting will be a valuable opportunity for experts in various fields to have an in-depth discussion about strategies and directions for science parks in the future to boost Asian economies,” wrote Jeju Free International City Development Center (JDC) Chairman and CEO Byon Jong Il on the conference’s Web site. “Also, it will be an ideal place for business people to build new network[s] and promote business exchange through business-related events.”

Plenary Session 1, entitled “Global Knowledge Workers Will Determine Our Future,” held at 10 a.m. on April 24, will be given by Dr. David Fuller, president of the Technology Parks Australia and New Zealand as well as director of Strategic Projects at the University of Wollongong.

Fuller writes in a brief description of his presentation on the ASPA Leaders Meeting Web site that he will focus on “the gap between aspiration and reality in many science park strategic plans in regard to the recruitment, development, and retention of key Global Knowledge Workers.” He continues that these types of workers are necessary to bring about original “models of creative innovation” and not just imitations of ones already in place.

The second plenary session, “Science Parks as Driving Force of Innovation Cities” by Dr. Martti Launonen, chief of the board and chief advisor for Hubconcepts Inc., on April 24 at 11 a.m., will look at the Hub framework which was created through the examination of hundreds of similar types of incubation centers.

Established as a non-governmental organization in Japan in 1997, ASPA is attempting to grow the Asian economy through mutual cooperation and the sharing of proven industry and scientific practices as well as create an Asian business community at the local and regional levels.

The 7th ASPA Leaders Meeting is hosted by ASPA, organized by the JDC, and will occur at the Elite Building in the JSP and at the Ramada Plaza Jeju Hotel in Jeju City.
