NORTH AMERICAN DIVISION CONFERENCEAREAS OF INNOVATION IN NORTH
AMERICA: A NEW PARADIGM FOR REGIONAL ECONOMIC SUCCESS
The emergence of areas of innovation or innovation districts has
become a growing phenomenon in cities large and small across North
America. At the same time, science park leaders have identified the
need to bring the social elements of cities into their parks as a
driver to retain and attract companies and the talent that those
companies are pursuing. The International Association of Science
Parks and Areas of Innovation (IASP) is the global leader in exploring
the issues facing these ever increasing important mechanisms to drive
regional and national prosperity. The North American Division of
IASP’s conference in Ann Arbor and Detroit will be a forum for the
exploration of best practices with leaders of area of innovations,
innovation districts and science parks. The meeting will also assess
the opportunities for collaboration between areas of innovation and
science parks across North America.
