As an organized research and business center, where academic, economic and social infrastructure meets, Technopark hosts universities, research institutions and industrial enterprises together in the same environment and facilitates them to do research, development and innovation activities through mutual transfer of know-how and technology for the sake of realizing value-added products.
According to the definition by the International Association of Science Parks (IASP), it is an enterprise that is in either an official or activity-based relationship with one or more university or higher education institution and research centers; and embodies a management function with specialized professionals, whose main aim is to increase the wealth of its community by promoting the culture of innovation and the competitiveness of its associated businesses and knowledge-based institutions.
