Abstract

Technopark
is an institution aiming at the commercialization of the information produced
under the leadership of a university or research institution. Technoparks
provide financial and technical support to entrepreneurs. It is also named as
the innovation center, the science park. The world’s first technopark is the
Stanford Research Park (Silicon Valley), founded in 1952 in the United States
under Stanford University. Establishment of technoparks to encourage innovation
in local development is called “Technopark Model” in the literature. The aim of
the study is to analyze the technopark model in local development in Emilia-Romagna
(E-R) of Italy and the Shannon region of Ireland. In this context, technoparks
established to accelerate the economic development of the development agency
ERVET of Emilia-Romagna region and the development agency SD of the Shannon
region have been revealed through establishment and development processes. The
subject was examined by qualitative research methods using document analysis
technique. The analysis yielded the following results: a)Technoparks
contributed to local development through aspects such as production,
employment, R&D, innovation. b)Sectoral Innovation System and Regional
Innovation System have been established by connecting technoparks via network.

Yerel Kalkınmada Teknopark Modeli: Emilia-Romagna (İtalya) ve Shannon (İrlanda) Bölgeleri Örnekleri

Abstract

Teknopark, bir üniversite veya araştırma kurumunun öncülüğünde
üretilen bilginin ticarileştirilmesini amaçlayan bir kurumdur. Teknoparklar,
girişimcilere mali ve teknik destek vermektedir. Bilim parkı, yenilik merkezi gibi adlarla da anılmaktadır. Dünyanın
ilk teknoparkı, ABD’nin Stanford Üniversitesi bünyesinde 1952 yılında kurulan
Stanford Araştırma Parkı’dır (Silikon Vadisi). Yerel kalkınmada yenilikleri
teşvik etmek için teknopark kurulması, literatürde “Teknopark Modeli” olarak
adlandırılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, yerel kalkınmada teknopark modelini
İtalya’nın Emilia-Romagna ve İrlanda’nın Shannon bölgeleri örnekleri üzerinden
analiz etmektir. Bu çerçevede Emilia-Romagna bölgesinin kalkınma ajansı ERVET
ile Shannon bölgesinin kalkınma ajansı SD öncülüğünde ekonomik kalkınmayı hızlandırmak
üzere kurulan teknoparklar, kuruluş ve gelişme süreçleri ile ortaya konmuştur.
Konu, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi tekniği ile ele alınmıştır.
Yapılan analiz ile şu sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır: a) Teknoparklar, yerel kalkınmaya
üretim, istihdam, Ar-Ge, yenilik gibi yönlerden katkıda bulunmuştur. b)
Teknoparklar ağ üzerinden birbirine bağlanmak suretiyle Sektörel Yenilik Sistemi ve Bölgesel
Yenilik Sistemi kurulmuştur.
