Applicants in this section can contact experts of the Park’s General Department of Attraction and Admission of Technology Units at 02176250250 ext. 2213 for more information.

To apply for membership in the land section of the zone, applicants must visit the electronic services portal of the Iran International Innovation Zone at  https://svc.techpark.ir and register their request. Subsequently, technical and financial evaluations of applicants for establishment, as well as the contract conclusion process, will be carried out.

It should be noted that the establishment of technology-based, creative, and knowledge-based companies and institutions in the zone will be possible in two forms: leasing and ownership (land and buildings – independent units).

A) Establishment in the Ownership Section

Membership in the ownership section is divided into two parts:

• Land Allocation

In this case, a plot of land is allocated to eligible technology-based and knowledge-based companies so that they can design the building, construct it, operate it, and establish themselves in the zone.

Technology-based and knowledge-based companies that have a relatively long history of economic activity in the field of advanced technologies and possess specialized laboratories and workshops, suitable expert staff, and sufficient capacity for business and employment expansion are recognized as meeting the general conditions of this section. The minimum and maximum allocable land area is 500 and 5000 square meters, respectively.

• Allocation of Independent Segregated Apartments

Considering the need of some applicants for completed and ready-for-sale units, with the participation of the private sector, a number of independent apartments ready for sale have been created and are available for allocation.

  Knowledge-based companies that, in addition to technical and technological capability and appropriate expert staff, have the financial ability to purchase an independent unit are recognized as meeting the general conditions of this section.

The allocable area in this section varies based on the constructed and available spaces.

B) Establishment in the Leasing Section

Knowledge-based companies that have started economic activity but have limited activity volume and financial capacity, do not need an independent building or apartment, and are able to pay rental costs can be established in this complex. The zone’s leasing spaces include a government building (Seraj Technology Center) or part of the space of companies in the land section. In the Seraj Technology Center building, unit areas range from 50 to 120 square meters, the maximum establishment period is 3 years, and the per capita space is one person per 10 square meters.

2) Membership in the Elite Technology Growth Center

Graduates and entrepreneurs who have a specific technological idea, limited capital and experience in economic activities, and need support and assistance can be established in this center.

For more information in this regard, please visit the Elite Technology Growth Center website (affiliated with the Iran International Innovation Zone).

3) Membership in the Branches of the Iran International Innovation Zone

Branches of the Iran International Innovation Zone operate in the form of innovation factories across Tehran. Startups that are at the early stages of launching their businesses and need an innovative, synergistic, dynamic space with excellent access to public transportation lines can be established in innovation factories.

For more information in this regard, you can visit the websites of Azadi Innovation Factory and Hiway Innovation Factory (branches of the Iran International Innovation Zone).

4) Attraction Platform for Iranian Specialists and Entrepreneurs Abroad

Attracting non-resident Iranian specialists has always been one of the main goals of the Iran International Innovation Zone. Accordingly, Iranian specialists and entrepreneurs abroad, in addition to benefiting from the current advantages of this complex, are always given priority in attraction, rapid evaluation of proposals, allocation of shared, leased, or land workspaces, and other service provisions.
