Global Technology Hub


Blueprint
INTRODUCTION

The Global Technology Hub Blueprint study was commissioned to carve out the technology strength in Malaysia,
to be strategically developed and to strengthen its core competency for innovative technology development
within Cyberjaya. The development of specific technology focus is to consolidate key resources and distinctive
capabilities of Cyberjaya, for developing new opportunities to invoke and foster innovative values in technology as
a driver for the country. The study undertook benchmarking of the best technology parks and start-up ecosystems
across the globe that played a pivotal role in the success of their own technology driven economies. This strategic
approach brings to light a broader perspective in using global practices to work with various agencies across the
ecosystem. This includes collaborative industry partnership and commercialisation in the technology value chain
of Malaysia. The blueprint provides a conceptual framework to evaluate the impact of innovation and technology
at a global level; to benchmark local technology integration competency and a yardstick for resources efficiency to
develop a competitive edge for achieving the digital aspirations of Malaysia

In the economic sense, technology have become a new form of asset class,
equivalent to data or oil. The competitive advantage for many countries has shifted
towards process technology which are man-made and in replacement of natural
comparative advantage. That is the power and opportunities driven in this era of
technology and internet

We studied the background and developments in each
benchmark science and technology park…
Overview of Research Triangle Park ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE1)

> World's largest university-related research park, situated


between UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke & N.C. State University
Concept > Initially grew by attracting branches of Fortune 500 firms

> Established in 1959


> Park size: Total of 7,000 acres
Key
> Mixed model of growth – Govt was a key driver in
characteristics initial stage but minimal federal intervention today

> Biotechnology & Life Sciences


> Information Technologies
Focus area(s) > Nanotechnologies
> Wireless Telecommunications

Latest developments Examples of major tenants


> The Research Triangle Foundation announced it has been buying up Biotech & Life Science Information
several adjacent properties for mixed-use growth and focusing on Technologies
providing improved living conditions to local workers and scientists
> Park management wants to focus on making park more attractive to
smaller entrepreneurial firms

… and assessed their strengths and weaknesses according to
the benchmarking criteria
Assessment of Research Triangle Park ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE1)

Resources Talent > Steady flow of talented graduates from the 3 funding universities

> Conference center, high-quality broadband, recreational activities


Infrastructure > A new regional tram system to be built, and new housing and residential spaces
> 5 incubators available on-site, providing services and advice
> Numerous venture capital firms implanted
Funding
> Presence of organization offering research financing support (e.g: Biotechnology Center)

Linkage between research > Numerous invention disclosures and licence agreements with university departments
Network institutes and industry > Public-private partnerships remain very common in the park's activities, especially with
universities
> Efforts made to introduce multi-use, cooperative spaces and shared amenities designed to
Knowledge transfer foster collaboration and unity
> Networking events organized to foster open exchange of ideas (e.g: Get connected @ RTP)
> Host several iconic organizations and networks (e,g: IUPAC, the Hamner, the William
Support systems Burroughs Welcome Fund, or Sigma Xi) to help recently created companies

Clarity of roles & objectives > Stable management by The Research Triangle Foundation of North Carolina, a non-profit
Regulation organization
for STP development
& Governance
> Clear vision mapped out in the Master Plan 2011
Clear vision > However, lack of measurable objectives in the Master plan

> No funding for potential tenants / specific grants for locating within the boundaries of RTP

We identified that multiple factors can contribute to the
success of different STPs around the globe

 Key Success Factors

The close collaboration of industry, academia and government to


Public-Private Partnerships invest in science parks and create co-development programs

Presence of committed champions Key leader/advocate of science park can foster the park's
(leaders) innovation capabilities and technology knowledge

Official and unofficial networks can improve knowledge circulation


Existing networks & communities and support growth of innovative ideas

Proximity of R&D institutes and a high Essential value chain components for higher-end R&D
collaboration of research resources

Encouraging collaboration and use of shared spaces is key to retain


Focus on knowledge transfer value-added activities within the park

Management organized with clear roles and a strong vision of the


Excellent park management direction the park should follow for its expansion

Liveable city Improvement of the quality of life offered for workers is key to
attracting and retaining talent
