The University of Valencia has hosted the transfer of the Presidency of the Network of Valencian Science Parks (RePCV) to the Science Park of Alicante, specifically in Joaquín Marhuenda, patron of the SPA Foundation.
The Network of Valencian Science Parks brings together the science parks promoted by the five Valencian public universities and constitutes a space for collaboration and cooperation that allows improving the visibility, representativeness, operational capacity and influence of its members in the ecosystem of innovation of the Valencian Region.
"Throughout 2017 we have organized in the Science Park two strategic reflection to try to position the Network of Valencian Science Parks taking into consideration the new reality of the Valencian ecosystem, especially after the new institutions that the Valencian Government has created, such as the Valencian Agency of Innovation", the UVSP director, Juan Antonio Raga, has underlined.
Among the objectives of the RePCV for 2018, the meeting also has highlighted the need to improve their capacity to influence public administrations, raising awareness of the challenges and priority needs arising from the knowledge society. In this line, it is intended to identify opportunities through the orientation of lines of action and the channeling of efforts and resources to develop an economic and social fabric based on innovation and knowledge.
