Africa is experiencing positive growth which requires stability for it to redress considerable infrastructure legacies. NePAD has been formulated to consolidate and mobilise this positive sentiment into viable support of this process. Accelerating growth and enabling the removal of binding constraints becomes a critical set of tasks.

The 25th IASP World Conference will contribute to this agenda by raising awareness of the role of science & technology parks in the economy. The Conference will also further the understanding of the innovation chasm, and share best practices.

The pre- and post-conference tours for the 25th IASP World Conference 2008 will include options such as the Winelands, the Garden Route, and our country's game and nature reserves. Day trip options, during the Conference for accompanying persons, will include heritage sites such as the Soweto home of Nelson Mandela, and Maropeng at South Africa's Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site.
