Its mandate is to contribute to global economic development through innovation, entrepreneurship, and the transfer of knowledge and technology.
Moscow will for the first time host the 33rd annual IASP Conference from September 19-22, following its selection as the venue after a global competition.
The theme of IASP 2016 is ‘The Global Mind: Linking Innovation Communities for Internationalization, Sustainability and Growth’.
Over 1,500 participants from 70 countries are expected at the conference here, including technopark representatives from Russia, the US, Spain, Britain, Brazil, South Korea, China, Sweden, among others.
