The development of ICT innovation through BTP cannot be carried out individually by one party alone, but the presence of other parties is highly expected. In the last 13 years, BTP has proven to have a positive impact by producing various innovative programs that continue to develop. One of the critical factors in the development of Technopark is leadership. This research uses qualitative methods by collecting data through interviews, observation and documentation of BTP informants. The research results show that the actors involved involve six actors. Each actor performs functions with good structural coordination, effective action rules, adequate institutionalization, and balanced power relations. Strategic actors in the form of collaboration, so that the leadership role that encourages creativity, provides support, and builds partnerships make BTP superior value in developing ICT innovation through BTP.
