On September 4, 2026, at INOTEX 2026, Dr. Morteza Yousefzadi, President of Qom Science and Technology Park, highlighted the resilience of Iran's knowledge-based companies. He emphasized their critical role in sustaining national technological capacity and addressing domestic needs amid ongoing economic and geopolitical challenges.

During a visit to the Iran International Innovation & Technology Exhibition (INOTEX), Yousefzadi acknowledged the logistical efforts of participants traveling from various provinces to attend the event. He noted that the continuous operation of knowledge-based enterprises demonstrates the maturation of the national innovation ecosystem. According to Yousefzadi, these companies have developed practical products that enhance national resilience and reduce reliance on foreign imports.

Outlining the strategic direction of his institution, Yousefzadi detailed the specific operational focus of the Qom Science and Technology Park:

  • Strategic Sectors: Prioritizing development in humanities, Islamic sciences, information technology (IT), and cultural/creative industries.
  • IT Dominance: Over 70% of the companies currently hosted at the park operate within the information technology sector.
  • Major National Platforms: The park currently hosts prominent domestic tech platforms, including Eitaa, Basalam, and Filimo.
  • Future Expansion: The park is actively preparing the infrastructure to onboard several additional major technology firms in the near future.

Yousefzadi concluded that regional technology parks play a vital role in scaling local innovations and integrating them into the broader national tech ecosystem, leveraging the foundational support of hubs like Pardis Technology Park (PTP).
