3- Book:Two Decades of Experience in the Formation of Science and Technology Parks in Iran
The formation of science and technology parks in Iran has a history of 25 years. The process of establishing and developing these parks has not been uniform across different times and locations, as each has followed its own path based on regional conditions. The diversity in the development trajectory of technology parks is natural and can be considered an advantage. For Iran’s innovation ecosystem to grow, it must embrace biodiversity. This advantage can be fully leveraged when science and technology parks engage in constructive interaction and learn from each other's experiences. The purpose of publishing this book is to document the history of the establishment of science and technology parks in Iran, facilitating the transfer and exchange of these experiences. The first volume of this book consists of eight chapters—one chapter dedicated to the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology, and seven chapters covering seven different science parks.
Specialized Books in Progress
STPIA is currently authoring a series of specialized books to expand knowledge and document experiences in the fields of technology and innovation. The titles of these books are as follows:
1. Planning and Designing the Physical Space of Technology Parks and Innovation Districts
A comprehensive work on the principles and fundamentals of physical design for technology parks and innovation districts.
2. Glossary of Venture Capital
A specialized book covering concepts and terms related to venture capital.
