The development of technology parks in Malaysia creates the expectations that they will contribute\r\nsignificantly to the industrialization. Therefore, there is increasing number of research conducted\r\non technology parks performance. However, there is still uncertainty about whether technology\r\nparks are achieving their goals or not and exactly what their impact is on their tenants. To\r\ncontribute to understanding this issue, this paper focuses specifically on the impact of technology\r\npark services on high technology industries. A case study on one of the well-established technology\r\nparks in Malaysia that is Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP) has been conducted. After a series of\r\ninterviews with the administrator and review of literature, nine evaluation criteria were identified\r\nand used to observe the impact of technology park services on the industrial tenants of the\r\ntechnology park. From a survey on the industrial tenants in KHTP, it is found that the technology\r\npark has all the nine evaluated criteria. However, these criteria have different categories of impact\r\non the tenants. It can be concluded that there is still more room to improve in ensuring the\r\ncompetitiveness of the technology park. This study could be extended to other technology parks in\r\nthe whole country.
