Karaj Set to Launch Tech Factory

An under-construction tech factory in Karaj, the provincial center of Alborz, is slated to launch within a month for promoting the startup ecosystem in the metropolis, the province’s governor general said.
Azizollah Shahbazi added that the project has made good progress and will partially come on stream, ISNA reported.
The official noted that the would-be factory is spacious enough to accommodate all 263 knowledge-based companies active in the city, along with the emerging startups.
On Thursday, Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari made a visit to the project site in Hesar District, east of the city.
Shahbazi explained that urban management issues will be targeted by the tech factory.
“Startup teams and knowledge-based firms working on waste management, environment, public health, smart city, culture and agriculture, which are willing to relocate at the factory in the near future, are invited to submit their applications at the foundation’s website Alborz.bmn.ir,” he said.
