Abstract

Regional and national authorities use science and technology parks (STPs) as instruments for regional development. They concentrate on a wide range of innovative companies and research organisations. STPs are thus likely to include seeds of knowledge-intensive specialisation. This is why STPs are well placed to play a key role in place-based innovation policies. Three potential roles of STPs in place-based innovation are discussed, together with limitations and success conditions for each of the three roles. This creates a new agenda for STPs as important actors and “boundary openers” in innovation strategies.
