Speaker Biographies
Dr. Malcolm Parry OBE. Managing Director, Surrey Research Park.
In 1981 Malcolm was invited to leave his academic post on campus and plan, develop and then manage the Surrey Research Park, currently one of the most successful parks in the UK accommodating over 140 companies and with turnover of over £10m . Malcolm was one of the founders of, and is the current Chair of, the UK Science Park Association. He has sat on the board of the International Association of Science Parks and on their expert panel, has been working as an expert consultant for UNESCO and UNECE for the last seven years and advised a number of governments on developing science parks. He has edited two books on science parks. Malcolm has also started three companies, all of which were taken to revenue generation and then sold. In 2006 he was awarded the OBE for his contribution to business and education.
