Abstract
Science and technology parks (STP) are playing even more important role in the knowledge-based economy. The paper focuses on depicting the role of STP as platforms of cooperation enabling the process of technology transfer.
The first section of the article concentrates on presenting universities and industry sector as a two key actors playing the pivotal role in the technology transfer. Different modes of their cooperation are shown and deeply described.
Next section tackles with the analysis of the innovative environment. The science and technology parks are present in such a milieu and fulfil their role which was attributed to them. The significance of STP is increasing more and more. One of the consequences of that situation is the enhancement of economic conditions of enterprises located within the vicinity of science and technology parks. Thanks to that the local economy can boost.
The article finalizes the analysis of the evolution of innovation perceptions (starting from linear innovation, through interactive innovations, up to open innovations) and the role the STP are playing within that process. In the last section the activity of the Krakow Technology Park and it’s impact on the regional economy is broadly presented.
