International Connection

Cooperation with Science and Technology Parks throughout the world has been a goal in order to make communications with peer parks in abroad, provide transfer of experiences, knowledge and accomplish common projects.

Accordingly, at the present time, Pardis Technology Park (PTP) as the main member is active in two important international associations:

International Association of Science Parks (IASP)

World Technopolis Association (WTA)

In addition to these associations, different partnership documents have been signed between PTP and other countries’ Science parks. Some of these parks are introduced below:

• Skolkovo Technology Park in Russia
• Idea Technology Park in Russia
• CND in China
• Liuzhou Technology Park in China
• BNTU Technology Park in Belarus
• Andalusia Technology Park (PTA) in Spain
• Dubai Technology Park
• Daedok Innopolis

Considering the research-oriented approach of Pardis Technology Park and its member companies, cooperation with scientific and research centers in other countries has always been defined as a priority in the park.

In this regard, in addition to drafting a supporting charter to help companies in establishing cooperation with similar research centers abroad, Park's headquarters complex has also defined cooperation for this purpose.

 The definition of cooperation with the industrial and commercial centers of the target countries has been to pay attention to the needs of the technology companies that are members of the park to develop industrial and commercial relations with similar centers in other countries and the possibility of receiving and transferring experiences, knowledge and sometimes defining joint projects.

In this regard, Pardis Technology Park has established cooperation with important and influential industrial and commercial centers in other countries.
