Indonesia has become the member of G20 and it indicates this nation has a splendid emerging economy. In 2014, the global competitiveness index of Indonesia was 4.56 that ranked Indonesia in 34th position. But contradictorily, among world's compliment to Indonesia economic rising, innovation in industry is still not in boast and not followed by market enthusiasm. A comprehensive solution for that can be taken by implementing a special space namely Science and Technology Park (STP). In brief, it is a center of excellence or a kind of space where productive activity is done by collaborating government, academics, community, and business.
