Breakout 1: Role of innovation spaces in the development of technology, industry, and finance

September 17th, 2025 — 16:00

This session aims to answer the question of which elements play the most significant roles in driving innovation and performance, providing a fresh perspective on optimising the effectiveness of innovation spaces and policy frameworks for diverse economic contexts.

Through rigorous research, the findings presented may challenge conventional beliefs. China’s patient capital model examines how science parks fuel technological advancement focusing on Changping’s Technology Industry Fund-of-Funds Cluster, while Ecuador’s National Innovation System reveals pathways for developing economies seeking sustainable growth.  

 

The University of Lille’s (France) healthcare ecosystem analysis tests whether network centrality outweighs physical proximity in driving innovative outcomes, and research from the State University of New York at Oswego (USA) explores triple helix dynamics across university park development phases.
