| XIII Meeting of the Commission on Business Cooperation Discover Sophia Antipolis - the original Science Park!
One of the topical issues of the UBC Commission on Business Cooperation in 2010 is the implementation and management of Science Parks. Sophia Antipolis, situated at the French Riviera, near Nice, has served as a worldwide model for Science Parks. It has been developing constantly for more than 30 years. Today there are more than 1.414 companies, around 30.000 jobs, 5.000 students and 4.000 researchers. In cooperation with Sophia Antipolis Science Park and back to back with the 6th edition of the Competitiveness Cluster Forum: "International Cooperation and Funding Devices", BizCom will hold its annual meeting in November 2010 in Sophia Antipolis.
Competitiveness Cluster Forum: "International Cooperation and Funding Devices"
The 6th edition of the Competitiveness Cluster Forum:"International Cooperation and Funding Devices" will be held on 18 -19 November 2010 at the Advanced Communication International Center (CICA). For the sixth consecutive year, the Fondation Sophia Antipolis organizes this major international event dedicated to industrial innovation and support to young innovative companies. The first day will feature presentations and debates around themes of the internationalisation of clusters and competitiveness "poles" and of the initial funding.The first session will be dedicated to the international cooperation (best practices of development strategies). The second one will concentrate on public/private funding and will be organised with the support of Sophia Business Angels within the EBAN Winter University (European Business Angels Network).
The second day will focus on "European Initiatives for the Internationalisation of Clusters". The comparisons will enable to clarify differences and similarities between policies of the European Commission, the States and the regions towards clusters and the mobilised means for mapping them.
