"STPs
towards Global Platforms for Sustainable Development by Diverse Human
Eco-Networks - Let's take off for future and create our prosperity!"
---
In
the wave of globalization, economy and industrial activities are performed
beyond the framework of a nation. Especially, the development of economy and
industrial activities in Asia is fast and expanding. For further industrial and
economic advancement, the sustainable development of STPs is required. In order
to realize the sustainable development of STPs, we have to recognize the Asian
diversity and the importance of human environment conscious networks among the
ASPA members.
Anyone
is born and living under different environment around us, i.e, home, working
place, region, tradition, culture, religion and nation. The great diversity of
this human environment produces diverse sense of values. Interactions among diverse sense of values
are indispensable to stimulate personal creativity and intuition for new ideas
and innovation.
The
formation of the diverse human environment conscious networks=Eco Networks is
an essential way for STPs to be global platforms for sustainable development.
In
the 19th ASPA 2015 Conference, Japan, we suggest the following theme:
"STPs
towards Global Platforms for Sustainable Development by Diverse Human
Eco-Networks - Let's take off for future and create our prosperity!"

Conference Venue
• Kanagawa
Science Park (KSP)
The
Kanagawa Science Park, conveniently located 15 kilometers south of central
Tokyo is the first urban-type science park in Japan. KSP houses numerous
R&D departments of large companies and foreign affiliates. These companies
employ approximately 5,300 people, including engineers, researchers and
business persons. KSP is one of the largest science parks in Japan.
KSP
is fully equipped with not only research laboratories with advanced
specifications for R&D, but also with communication facilities such as meeting
rooms, multipurpose event halls, and amenities such as a hotel, restaurants,
and public green open spaces. Research support facilities, such as the
Materials Characterization Center, allow for collaboration of analytical
research and technical consultations.
KSP,
an ideal place for the R&D oriented businesses, will move forward to become
a platform for global innovation.
• KANAGAWA
PREFECTURE
Kanagawa
Prefecture is located next to Tokyo. Access to the area is excellent because of
its proximity to Tokyo International Airport—commonly known as Haneda
Airport—as well as the Tokaido Shinkansen Line and Tomei Expressway, which both
run through Kanagawa Prefecture and connect Tokyo and Osaka.
Kanagawa
is also considered part of the Tokyo metropolitan region, which accounts for a
third of Japan’s population and 37 percent of its economy. Bolstered by
industries that possess sophisticated technological capabilities as well as a
large human resource pool, Kanagawa enjoys constant growth and offers much that
will appeal to businesses.
• KAWASAKI
CITY
Kawasaki City is a vibrant metropolis of 1.4
million people, and one of the main cities forming the Greater Tokyo Area,
along with Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama in the surrounding Kanto region.
Located on the south bank of the Tama River, Kawasaki City has excellent
connections by land, sea and air, with convenient access to Haneda Airport
