Due to Iran's dry and semi-arid climate, water scarcity has long been a problem, forcing governments and academics to explore innovative ways to manage water usage.
One of the key bodies supporting tech teams working on the issue is the Water, Drought and Environmental Workgroup, affiliated to the Vice Presidential Office for Science and Technology.
Based on the government’s policies on supporting budding tech groups and fostering a knowledge-based economy, the workgroup extends financial, legal, commercial and technical assistance to startups working on water management.
