In this regards, that governments work together with very experienced and talented experts, especially from Indonesia, and We foresee future cooperation with Indonesian government in the future.
It is a fruitful title during this time, in this era; development of science and technology is the most important development in the region. Managing knowledge and technology among the universities, companies and industries, including the added values in that the facilities. Science is worth the property development. Science and Technology Park can promote economic development in the region. It enhances the synergy between the technology and universities, by promoting a culture of innovation. ISESCO hopes through this workshop, this to achieve the following objectives of the development, (1) to facilitate the research, (2) to design a programme for commercialization generated result (3) to develop communication channel between the industries, universities, businesses and other research-generated society, (4) to provide facilities to companies for the development.

Country Presentation I
Chairman: Dr. Abbas Sadri
Speakers
1. Mr. Kezang Chhodar (Bhutan)
Title: Science and Technology Park Development in Bhutan
So far Bhutan does not have such things as technological park as it is a developing country but it is recently in the progress of the Park Sector Development Project that consists of IT park skills development and IT promotion which is supported by donor community and led by the World Bank. Therefore, Science and Technological research, and information system are still developing in Bhutan.
2. Dr. Neth Barom (Cambodia)
Cambodia has no technological park, neither experiences, knowledge, or particular practices of the development in science and technology. It is still developing the improvement of education, and is learning to develop its science and technology from other participating country in the workshop.
3. Dr. Herbert Chen (China)
Tititle: TusPark
TusPark is a pure commercial operation park that needs more investment for its research and development. Three main winners that gain the advantage from TusPark are the government, which is strongly supporting TusPark because they could gain the result of the development in science and technology for China and collect tax from tenants in TusPark, university students that could train and practice, gain ideas for the future and have a part time job, and tenants. Other advantages are also gained by shareholders and TusPark itself. There are no incentives from the government but from 5 shareholders.
Science and Technology Park could be created by creating an excellent plan, implementing it, be flexible, contribute for the country, as well as good resources and shares.
Universities and Technology Park could cooperate for the improvement of the future by providing space and create the environment.
4. Prof. Sifeng Liu (China)
Title: An Evaluation System of the Development of Science and Technology Park
Discussed about the synthetic model, park indexes, and their evaluations supported with examples.
Development of science and technology park is related with product, knowledge, and patent right.
5. Mr. Shri H.K. Mittal (India)
Title: Science Parks and Incubations as an Effective Tool for Economic Development
Technology is improving side by side with the education in India, especially in business. Science and Technology Park cannot be conducted easily, therefore Science park could be developed based on a country’s condition and environment and whether it is ready or not. The process is more vital than the result.
In order to improve business incubators and science parks, the relation of education and environmental must match, high innovation as well as strong research and development, good network system and entrepreneurship.

Conclusion
Techno science and techno polis could be a good strategy for the future for economical and social environment, innovation, etc.
But developing countries are too skeptical which they believe that they cannot do anything because it has no money, professionals, etc. Therefore universities must play the role with the help of the government together to develop these techno parks beginning from the first stage (The beginning plan).
