Iran’s Startup Ecosystem Expanding

Tehran-based Tarbiat Modares University has developed its science and technology park, expanding facilities for startups and promoting the tech ecosystem.
Supported by the university and the Vice Presidential Office for Science and Technology, the new section is a five-story building consisting of 30 separate units, which was officially inaugurated on Monday, the office's website Isti.ir reported.
Sorena Sattari, the vice president for science and technology who attended the inaugural event, said the building is ready to host tech units, knowledge-based companies and research and development teams.
Sattari said that proximity to the university (in Tehran’s District 6), presence of research centers, the opportunity to share experience with peers and the guidance of professional mentors are among the privileges of tech park, which tech aficionados can enjoy.
