国际科技园及创新区域协会（IASP）总裁的欢迎信：

欢迎各位参加第31届国际科技园及创新区域协会（IASP）国际大会。

几个世纪以来，科技发展和创新一直是经济增长的动力，创新和创业精神是推动经济发展的强大引擎。我们无法准确预测下一个大的创新领域是什么，但转型创新的前景是巨大的。

全世界的科技园和创新区域为培养创新提供了适宜的环境，这将促进下一代商业企业的成长。

近400家科技园区和创新区域构成了IASP全球网络，这些文化背景提供了丰富的专业人才资源，也是新商业创投和机会的强大平台。科技园和创新区域内部产生的网络效应开创了积极的反馈路径，研究和商业化之间的协同作用创立了一个旨在构建弹性、创新驱动的经济文化。

今年，卡塔尔科技园（QSTP）将于2014年10月19日至22日在多哈的卡塔尔国家会议中心举办第31届IASP国际会议。今年会议的主题是：“科技园区：技术将如何发挥作用”， 并将探讨以下内容:科技园的技术开发催化剂作用；大学和研发中心的合作模式；科技园和入驻公司; STPs & AIs对社会的影响。

现在是时候考虑科技园区对新兴新技术的重要性。期待您能在2014年10月于多哈加入我们。

诚挚祝愿，

Rick Weddle

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
