24 7. Some policy implications Very uneven geographic coverage of Science Parks Weak/ fragmented provision in many major cities Linkage with Catapult Centres and other Public sector research institutes Increased engagement by the property development/investment institutions Under utilisation of Science Parks and Innovation Centres in the implementation of Government s research and innovation policies Low level of funding to support incubation and growth of tenant firms Continued dependence on public funds for the expansion of Science Parks and Innovation Centres in weakest regions 24
25 8. Proposed next steps 1. Draft research report with case studies 2. Develop and refine policy implications 3. Prepare policy paper setting out the role of science parks and innovation centres for Government, TSB, and LEPs/ Development Agencies and other key stakeholders 4. Review and revise the annual statistical survey 25
