Four assests

Our "Parks Methodology” is based on the valorisation of the four "research assets”:

• The “research capacities” that the entity can offer for distributed research
• The “research products” that the entity can sell on the technology market
• The “research projects” that can be turned into spin-offs
• The “research magnets” that can attract external players to the park

In order to play the "self-fulfilling prophecy” wisely, the park has to be developed in two phases :

• The "Development Company” supports the valorisation of the four “research assets” through four appropriate functions: the Technology Interface, the Technology Transfer Office, the Incubator and the Match-making Entity.
• The “Management Company” helps build up the park itself by providing four functions : administration, optimization, attraction and incubation.

As two functions are common between the Development Company and the Management Company, Investparks recommends, when possible, to make the first one evolve into the second one.
