ABSTRACT Global and increasing competitive economy is bringing new challenges to face such as internationalization of production process and exchanges as well as the emergence of a knowledge economy in which innovation and research are vectors of growth and competitiveness. In order to embrace these changes Turkish Higher Education Institutes and scientific/technological policy makers are leading toward a development in sciences and R&D as an economic strategy for the national GDP. Technology Development Zones are rapidly growing and new ones are opened every year. France has chosen to develop its competitive clusters since 2004, called “Pôles de compétitivité”. They are key elements to the French industrial and research policy from a regional and international perspective. The aim of these two days will be to identify and link competitiveness actors and innovation leaders in order to create bridges and matches between French competitiveness clusters and Turkish Teknoparks. This will bring on scientific/technological cooperation and new business opportunities. OBJECTIVES Valorizing technological transfer Developing inter-regional cooperation and inter-clusters Pushing innovation Increasing economical and scientific cooperation Sharing best practices in matching fields Creating growth and employment 2 days - 2 cities Istanbul/Ankara Each day will offer two approaches, a theoretical one and a practical one. The mornings will allow sharing ideas and debating on clusters and innovation models. The afternoons will be dedicated to share between stakeholders of similar fields and will have two goals: exchanges between participants of complementary fields and creation of business opportunities.
