Look Back Twice as Far As You Look Forward

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARKS: THE NEXT DECADE AND BEYOND

External Forces Shaping the Future for Science Parks and Incubators
The century of biology
Lightweight innovation
R&D goes global
Science returns to the City

The Century of Biology From the science of energy and matter to the science of life

LIGHTWEIGHT INNOVATION FROM CLOSED LABS TO OPEN NETWORKS

Lightweight Innovation: New science communities

The Innovation Crisis

LIGHTWEIGHT INNOVATION: From Closed to Networked R&D
From…
Internal
Centralized
Corporate Labs
To…
Venture funds & start-ups
Knowledge spot markets
Contract labs
IP shops
Consumer co-creation
& more…

Open Innovation Leaders: P&G

Lightweight Innovation: democratized and distributed
Democratized forms
Amateur renaissance
DIY movement - open source for hardware
Distributed tools
Cloud supercomputing
Desktop fabrication
Backyard biology

R&D GOES GLOBAL FROM SCIENCE POWERS TO SCIENCE STARS

R&D Goes Global Rise of China and India
“ A 2006 survey of 186 of the world's biggest corporations found that 77% of new R&D centers over the next three years will go up in one of these two emerging economic superpowers.”
BusinessWeek 10 May 2006

R&D Goes Global What Attracts Global Companies to China?
Localizing R&D (47%)
Close to emerging markets
Close to manufacturing
Lower costs (36%)
Positioning for Future Innovation
From “brain drain” to “brain circulation”

growth of new scientific powers Valencia Science Center, Spain Hong Kong Science Center

R&D Goes Global: Specialization at Snowpolis

SCIENCE RETURNS TO THE CITY

SCIENCE RETURNS TO THE CITY: Driving Forces
Better access to “creative class” talent
New real estate development models
Mixing and adjacencies to for partnerships and innovation
Biomedical is clinical

SCIENCE RETURNS TO THE CITY: New places for R&D Biopolis | JTC University Park @ MIT | Forest City Genentech Hall | UCSF East River Science Park | Alexandria

Science Returns to the City: Smart Environments for Social Collaboration

FROM INCUBAT ORS TO INCUBAT ION

Future Spaces: Betaworks

Future Signals: Kitchen Budapest

Future Spaces: La Cantine

Future Signals: Phase Z.Ro

Future Spaces: MIT’s Stata Center

Lessons From Future Spaces
Need for rapid prototyping
Places for experimentation
Blurring boundaries between business and non-business functions
Mix uses not just on site, but in labs
Temporary isn’t bad
Rethink universities and university partnerships

What Does This Mean for Science Parks and Incubators in Sweden?
Some questions to consider:
How are you positioned relative to long-term growth opportunities?
How do you provide a space for online, virtual and temporary communities?
What is unique about your local business environment or talent cluster that can’t be re-created elsewhere?
How can you extend your model to the broader incuba tion process?
