Six Innovation Factories in the Iranian Gov’t Pipeline

The Iranian government is making more efforts to develop the technology ecosystem by overhauling unused infrastructures and repurposing them into workspaces. 
According to the Vice Presidential Office for Science and Technology, six abandoned factories in different cities will be repurposed into innovation factories, Mehr News Agency reported. 
Esmaeil Qaderifar, an authority with the office said old and abandoned factories in Isfahan, Tabriz, Ardabil, Mashhad, Yazd and Karaj will be turned into tech hubs for fostering innovative ideas. 
Specifying old buildings and avoiding construction of new facilities is aimed at squeezing the costs and use of material, in other words, making the most of the existing facilities.
