Four innovation centers have been launched in the shrine city of Qom to boost the tech ecosystem.
During a Tuesday trip to the city, Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari inaugurated the centers, visited local innovative units and surveyed their products, IRNA reported.
The first center coming on stream was a branch of Tehran University’s tech park, with a 1,000-square meter industrial building as a workshop and a shared workspace for startups and knowledge-based firms.
Abbas Zare’i, the head of Tehran University’s tech park, said after 20 years of operation, the park is ready to extend its reach to other provinces and expand its activities.
“The park and its new branch are mandated to disseminate theoretical education to promote practical innovation and tap the students' tech potentials,” he said.
Sattari also launched an innovation complex as an extension to Qom Tech Park, a private tech center called “Mobtada” and an innovation building called “Eshraq” at the Islamic Propagation Office of Qom Theological School.
After the inauguration, Sattari signed an agreement with the office for establishing a creativity and innovation center for Islamic projects. At the center, gifted tech enthusiasts will devise new solutions for the modern presentation of theology and education.
