Introduction and History of the Park

Science and Technology Parks are considered important and strategic bases for the development of a knowledge-based economy in society, which work to advance the goals of the sacred system of the Islamic Republic of Iran and fulfill the instructions of the Supreme Leader in planning and confronting the enemy's cultural and scientific invasion, as well as promoting a culture of resistance economy through a knowledge-based economy. For this purpose, Ardabil Science and Technology Park was established and began its activities in January 2014, citing the resolution of the Supreme Council for the Development of Higher Education to create appropriate infrastructure for the development of technology. The main and strategic mission of Ardabil Science and Technology Park is to influence technology in the agricultural industry and society and create wealth by promoting a culture of innovation and increasing the competitiveness of companies that operate on the basis of science and knowledge. To achieve this goal, Ardabil Park has a mission to facilitate the creation and growth of innovative companies through growth centers by managing the flow of knowledge and technology and providing special services. Currently, Ardabil Park operates with a comprehensive growth center, 2 satellite growth centers, 3 joint growth centers, 3 innovation centers, and has provided employment for more than 311 knowledge-based technology companies and startup teams to more than 1,897 elite young people.

Introducing the Institutions and Marketing Unit

The Institutions and Marketing Unit of the Ardabil Science and Technology Park, as one of the main pillars of this park, plays a vital role in supporting start-up companies and research institutions. This unit aims to develop new technologies and commercialize them, helping mature technology companies and research and development units introduce their products and services to the markets in order to achieve economic development. Technology units, during a long-term establishment in the Institutions and Marketing Unit, are encouraged to offer more developed versions of their technology-based products and services and to export their knowledge-based and technology-based products to global markets. The Institutions Unit, by creating incentives and managing the flow of knowledge and technology, provides infrastructure facilities and legal facilities to create a suitable working environment for research and development centers and knowledge-based institutions. Technology units located in the Institutions and Marketing Unit of the Science and Technology Park are companies that have successfully completed the growth period in the Growth Center of the Science and Technology Park and, after completing the growth stages, bring their products or services to the mass production stage. Large industries can also establish their research and development offices in the Institutes and Marketing Unit of the Science and Technology Park and, while implementing their research and development processes and receiving material and moral support, interact with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups located in the park and exploit their capacity. These interactions lead to the development of small technological and innovative businesses.

Introducing the Tech Bazaar

One of the tools used to facilitate technology development activities, clarify and strengthen the technology market in the world is Tech Bazaars, which are trying to help create or activate various sectors involved in the commercialization, exchange and development of technology. With the increasing importance of Tech Bazaars in the world as a powerful tool and considering the lack of similar experience in the country, the idea of ​​creating a Tech Bazaar in the country was formed in 2002. Thus, the Iranian National Tech Bazaar Network was established as the only technology information reference in the country under the supervision of Pardis Technology Park. Fanbazaar is a technology trading firm that is responsible for bringing together the "supply" and "demand" sides in the field of technology and advanced products.
