2 I BACKGROUND Innovation occupies a very important place in our society. On the one hand innovation is considered as a critical factor in enhancing economic growth and competitiveness; and on the other hand innovation is considered as a crucial element for social cohesion, equality and poverty alleviation. Therefore, UNESCO has adopted the definition of innovation proposed by the OECD that innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), or process, a new marketing method, or a new organizational method in business practices, workplace organization or external relations (OECD, 2005), yet at the same time also take into consideration the importance of grassroots innovation. The latter of which is potentially an important source of innovation that can respond to unmet needs in a large portion of the population in developing countries. Therefore, UNESCO encourages both firm-based and grassroots innovation. Below are three main actions that UNESCO engages in the promotion of a culture of innovation: (i) facilitating the development of innovation systems; (ii) supporting firm based innovation and (iii) promoting grass-roots innovation. To support firm-based innovation activities, in 1993, UNESCO launched the University- Industry Science Partnership (UNISPAR) Programme. The objective of the programme is to create a synergy between research in university and productive sector. Since 2002, the Programme focuses more on supporting science parks and technology business incubators by organizing capacity building activities, providing technical assistance, establishing pilot projects, fostering regional and international networks and supporting the development of regional and international centers. The main objective of UNESCO s involvement is to develop national capacity in creating, nurturing and managing knowledge-based SMEs through the development of science parks and technology business incubators. To reach this objective, UNESCO has been conducting capacity building activities at national, regional and international levels, providing technical assistance to national governments, establishing pilot projects and supporting the creation of category 2 centres for the development of science parks and technology incubators under the auspices of UNESCO The awareness on contribution of science, technology and innovation (STI) on economic development is not new among policy makers in Indonesia. In the 70 s, the Government envisioned the industrial development, especially as part of its effort to shift from predominantly agriculture to industrialized country, a Science Based Industrial Park is planned to be developed as a part of the Science Based City in Serpong, located 30 km for Central of Jakarta. Recently, the Indonesian Government launched Master Plan of Indonesian Economic Development (known as MP3EI), in which technology contribution is acknowledged as one of major staretgy. However, a lot of works have to done in both sides of the coin: technology and economic development. Based on this common interest between UNESCO and the Indonesian Government, in 2008, under the request of the Government of Indonesia, UNESCO and the World Technopolis Association (WTA) team of experts conducted a technical assistance to establish a Broad Business Plan to develop science and technology parks in Indonesia. During the field mission, in February 2009, the team has had an opportunity to visit four potential sites where Indonesia can develop science parks: PUSPITEK, LIPI Research Centre in Cibinong, University President in Cikarang and Solo Technopark. The team of expert judged that PUSPITEK has a potential to be developed as real science park that could be use a pilot project of UNESCO and WTA in the Asia-Pacific region. The second mission was conducted one year letter to establish an action plan to transform PUSPITEK into a national science and technology park. 2

3 This training workshop, entitled Indonesian National Training Workshop on Science Parks and Technology Business Incubator Governance, is conducted as a continuation of this cooperation. This activity is conducting thank to generous grant from the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the World Technopolis Association. The project is implemented in close cooperation with the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, AIBI, Swiss-German University, and Ministry of Research and Technology in Indonesia. II OBJECTIVES The training workshop is looking at the all elements that are crucial in the conceptualization, planning, establishment and management science park and technology business incubator. The specific objectives of training workshop are as follows: 1. upgrading the capacity of the participants to adapt his management to be coherence with innovation economy; 2. sharing the valuable information and experience in development of science park and technology business incubator; 3. reinforcing the existing network of technology business incubator in Indonesia, including sharing of common advanced experiences for development of science park and technology business incubator. The workshop will consist of five different parts as follows: lectures by experts, participant presentations, working group discussion, panel discussion on networking on science park development and conclusion (for details please see part VIII of this document). 3

He has also involved in WTA as a Chairman of the Academic Committee since 1997 and has been acting the role of General Secretary Since WTA is currently doing the cooperative projects-capacity building and technical assistance-on Science City governance with UNESCO since He is a member of the UNESCO High Panel on Science for Development (HPSD). Dr Yoslan Nur is UNESCO Programme Specialist and working in the Division of Science Policy and Capacity Building. Dr Nur is responsible for several activities, including promoting culture of innovation, popularization of science; promoting South-South cooperation in science, technology and innovation (STI) and STI information support system. Within the framework of the promotion of culture of innovation, he has been conducting many activities in assisting UNESCO s member States in facilitating the creation of knowledge-based SMEs through the development of science parks and technology business incubators, including capacity building activities, technical assistance, creation of pilot projects and establishment of regional center.
