Top Innovation Accelerators and Co-Working Spaces Honored at 9th Pardis Summit 2025.

The 9th Pardis Summit 2025, held in the IIID, celebrated the achievements of leading innovation accelerators and co-working spaces. TrigUp was awarded as the best accelerator, while Karmana claimed the top position among co-working spaces for the year 2024.

The 9th edition of the Pardis Summit marked the recognition of excellence in the innovation ecosystem, honoring three leading innovation accelerators and three co-working spaces for their outstanding performance in 2024.

Based on evaluations conducted by the Innovation Acceleration Center, TrigUp was named Best Innovation Accelerator of 2024, followed by Noafarin and Pishgaman Yazd in second and third place, respectively. The selection criteria included the number of teams attracted during pre-acceleration and acceleration phases, successful exits, and overall financial performance.

In the co-working space category, Karmana ranked first, with Haft-o-Ha8t securing second place and ParadiseHub third. Evaluation for these spaces was based on the number of residents, dedicated office occupants, financial turnover, and quality of facilities and infrastructure.

The annual report of the Innovation Acceleration Center revealed that 26 co-working spaces are currently members of the Center, hosting over 28,000 individuals, including more than 65 Small & Medium-Sized Knowledge-Based Companies (SMEs). The total value of contracts secured from external organizations for their members was estimated at 95 billion IRR. These spaces also delivered 7,000 hours of training, organized 1,300 events, and facilitated the successful exit of over 35 companies in 2024.

Furthermore, the Center’s 97 member accelerators attracted 530 teams in pre-acceleration and 350 teams in acceleration stages during 2024, resulting in 240 successful startup exits.

The summit concluded with panels and speeches addressing “Overcoming Business Crises and Real-Time Decision-Making,” attracting IIID members including accelerators, co-working space managers, and entrepreneurship event organizers.
