Reviews
“Technopolis - Best Practices for Science and Technology in Cities is a comprehensive study and summary for understanding how science parks and technology clusters are developed. … this book includes valuable information, experience and knowledge that will likely be very helpful to readers involved in these kinds of efforts. The book is well documented with graphics to explain and accompany the text. University researchers, incubator and commercialization professionals would benefit from reading this book. Highly recommended.” (Jeff Thurston, 3dvisworld.com, April, 2015)
