Economist Intelligence Unit Report

Governments should aim to create and sustain a policy environment that makes their entire country attractive to those who build or finance technology businesses.

Start-up firms have higher survival rates inside parks than outside them.

Asia’s software parks have not become innovation hubs.

The focus on exports can pose long-term growth issues.

Fast and cheap telecoms services are critical to software development and are best promoted through liberalisation.

Asian governments can do more to promote venture capital.

Education policy needs to be directed to create sufficient numbers of highly-skilled graduates.

The alliance was set up in 2008 as an act of cooperation between software parks

Nine countries and territories: Thailand, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Brunei, Nepal, Burma and Singapore.

There are 16 software parks and related software-industry promotion organisations in the alliance.

The third annual conference was held in Phuket in 2009.

Suggestion on Domestic Software Industry

It is not straightforward for governments to identify what they need for a domestic software industry to bloom.

Examples:

– India most important asset; English speaking and relatively low-cost engineering staffs

– Chinese government is setting up its own funds to rival international firms.

Invest on

– Communications infrastructure

– Human Capital
