欧洲面临一个决定性的悖论：产出世界一流的科学知识，却无法将创意规模化地产业化。这份立场文件以第二届波茨坦国际论坛为基础，提出科学园区是欧洲竞争力架构中的战略性组成部分。这些属地化基础设施扎根区域生态系统，把研究人员、创业者和投资者联结起来，以跨越“死亡之谷”。文件着重阐述了六个核心主题，包括规模化鸿沟，以及中小企业的关键作用——它们占企业总数的 99%，却常常在产业政策中被边缘化。IASP 呼吁欧盟委员会正式承认这些区域枢纽，并设计前后连贯的资金框架，以留住人才并确保科学突破转化为全球市场领先地位。
Europe faces a defining paradox: producing world-class scientific knowledge while failing to industrialise ideas at scale. This Position Paper, based on the 2nd Potsdam International Forum, argues that Science Parks are strategic components of Europe’s competitiveness architecture. By anchoring regional ecosystems, these territorial infrastructures connect researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors to overcome the 'valley of death'. The document highlights six central themes, including the scaling gap and the vital role of SMEs, which represent 99% of businesses but are often sidelined in industrial policy. IASP calls on the European Commission to formally recognise this regional hubs and design coherent funding frameworks to retain talent and ensure scientific breakthroughs translate into global market leadership.
