Dear World Conference Delegates,
It is with great anticipation that I invite you to the 43rd IASP World Conference on Science Parks and Areas of Innovation, set to take place in Sophia Antipolis, France, from 27-30 October 2026. Each IASP conference offers a unique platform for innovation, growth, and the forging of meaningful connections. This year’s event promises to be truly exceptional, as the Sophia Antipolis technology hub continues to foster technological breakthroughs and drive organizational and societal innovations, demonstrating how innovation can advance progress while keeping human values at the center.
Our host, Sophia Antipolis, is recognised as a leading incubator for innovation, distinguished by its human scale and remarkable diversity. The theme for this year’s conference, “Tech for Humanity. Shaping values for a human-centric future,” is particularly timely, as we explore how innovation spaces can lead the way in creating technological solutions that prioritize human well-being, societal progress, and sustainable development..
I am excited about the insights, discussions, and collaborations that will emerge from this event, and I strongly encourage you to join us in the sunny French Riviera. This will be a prime opportunity to strengthen our global network, learn from one another, and explore how innovation-driven development can be guided by human-centric values. Together, we can continue to push boundaries, foster new ideas, and make a meaningful and lasting impact on communities and industries worldwide.
I look forward to welcoming you and working alongside you to shape a future where technology and innovation serve people and society.
Warm regards
