ABSTRACT
This study explores the development of an innovation ecosystem in Indonesia's science parks to address challenges across various sectors while fostering inclusive and impactful advancements. Using a qualitative approach and causal loop diagrams, the research identifies the dynamic roles of universities, science parks, and regional innovation systems (RIS) in driving knowledge co-creation, regional networking, and start-up creation. These findings align with Indonesia's national agenda to enhance technological capabilities and economic competitiveness. The study highlights the growing importance of technology-enriched learning environments and inclusive learning innovations to ensure equitable access to education and collaborative open science. Furthermore, it identifies three key value streams—physical infrastructure, formal links, and support services—as critical for evaluating and enhancing science park performance. These components provide a guiding framework for science park growth, contributing to investment, business, academic, and social sectors. The study concludes with recommendations for policy implications in both the short and long term to strengthen the implementation of inclusive innovation, ensuring science parks play a pivotal role in driving sustainable and equitable progress in Indonesia.
