Technopark has become a widely cited term when discussing about innovation and technology. The world economy concept has been shifting from traditional based economy to knowledge based economy. This concept fosters an understanding of technopark, functioned as a seedbed of innovation to gain regional development, which is later popularly implemented. There are phases in technopark development in achieving its entire function. In the developing countries, technopark is assumed to be still in its infant phase. Indonesia is one of the developing countries that have declared the policy of technopark establishment in its national mid-term development plan document of 2015-2919. However, a number of national governmental agencies has already taking the role of technopark, even before the policy was issued. The objective of this paper is to explain the technopark stage level in Indonesia as well as to evaluate the assumption on technopark stage in developing country. The method used is case study on two Indonesian national technoparks which will be assessed through two characteristics that forms a technopark, such as physical and functional dimension. The result indicates that the assumption is not entirely correct. Indonesia’s national technopark, despite in its early phase organizationally, has already shifted from its early phase towards development phase functionally.
