At the 43rd IASP World Conference on Science Parks and Areas of Innovation, our main theme will be “Tech for Humanity: Shaping Values for a Human-Centric Future”.
We live in an era of unprecedented technological advancement, driven by breakthroughs in AI, biotechnology, fintech, and other disruptive fields. While these innovations offer immense potential, they also raise ethical questions and societal challenges.
The theme emphasises a human-centred approach to innovation, shifting the focus from “can we build it?” to “should we build it?” and ensuring that technology serves the needs and aspirations of all people.
Key principles of this approach include:
Areas of Innovation (AOIs), Innovation Districts (IDs), and Science & Technology Parks (STPs) demonstrate the power of human ingenuity. These hubs bring together researchers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and communities to collaborate on solutions for a better future, ensuring that cutting-edge technologies are guided by ethics and human well-being.
At its core, Tech for Humanity is about creating a future where technology serves humanity, advancing progress while promoting values, equity, and positive societal impact.
