4-party co-operation

Assuming that basic research is strengthened and cross disciplinary research platforms are created and developed strongly,

• How do municipalities support the process financially and operationally? And how do they ensure that the city-region is also otherwise internationally attractive living and business environment?

• How does the government strengthen regional development?

• How do companies, that have already invested a lot, participate in the development work?

The Ideopolis

Ideopolis: a 21st century metropolitan version of what we first saw in Italian renaissance city states. The key elements are the airport, the university and the capacity to create new ideas – either within or outside existing companies – that buoyant demand, intellectual capital and business self confidence help to sustain.

Will Hutton, 2002
