Apoyo al Tecnoparque Internacional de Panamá en La Ciudad del Saber

The overall objective of the project was to develop and strengthen theInternational Technopark of Panama (TIP) within the City of Knowledge (FCDS),increasing the European presence in order to become a centre of attraction forenterprises, R&D centers and universities. There were three main factorsthat had to be improved in order to reach the main objectives of the project,both in a national and international context:
- The existing staff/personnel require more science and technology parkmanagement experience- There is no specific professional training for science and technologypark and innovation management in Panama and the region- Due to its role in history, Panama still considers itself a countryspecialized in services, which makes the implementation of R&D intechnological and innovative activities difficult. IASP carried out three specificactivities within the overall project of support to the TIP in order to improvethe mentioned issues.
