📋 Tender Overview
With the aim of promoting the implementation of science and technology parks (STP) in the country, Concytec and the delegation of the Korean Information Society Development Institute (KISDI) strengthened ties of cooperation and held technical meetings where they exchanged experiences, tools and knowledge related to this topic.
As part of the agenda developed from August 26 to 29 of this year, a meeting was held to present the project Capacity building for the implementation and management of science and technology parks, in order to promote the digital economy and the development of emerging technologies, which is being carried out in collaboration between KISDI and Concytec.
Likewise, the delegation from South Korea and representatives of Concytec visited the National University of San Agustin de Arequipa (UNSA) and the National Agrarian University La Molina (UNALM), where they learned about the facilities, progress and challenges of their respective science and technology parks, with the help of university authorities.
It is important to note that, as a result of this joint work, it is expected to carry out an exhaustive diagnosis of the current regulatory framework regarding PCT in Peru. Likewise, the development of capacities is sought both for officials of the institutions in charge of promoting PCT and for representatives of initiatives at the national level, according to their degree of progress.
What are science and technology parks?
They are physical spaces linked to one or more universities, as well as other public and private institutions, and their objective is to promote innovation based on scientific and technological knowledge to improve productivity and business competitiveness.
Parks in various countries concentrate the supply and demand of technological goods and services, and promote the creation and growth of innovative companies through incubation mechanisms. In addition, they provide other value-added services, as well as the use of high-quality facilities.
To date, there are 32 science and technology park projects in Peru, located in 20 regions. Of these initiatives, only six have master plans approved by Concytec and are led by the National University of Central Peru, the National Agrarian University of La Molina, the National University of San Agustin de Arequipa, the National Intercultural University of the Central Selva Juan Santos Atahualpa, the National University of Hermilio Valdizan and the National University of San Marcos.
Therefore, through this strategic alliance with South Korea, Concytec reaffirms its commitment to continue promoting scientific and technological parks to boost innovation in the country, which will have a positive impact on productive, economic and social development.
