The existence of over 3000 knowledge-based firms, research and industrial centers, incubators, universities, research centers, funds and accelerators urge the need for establishment of a network like TNET. Hence, in order to create synergy between different parts of innovation ecosystem and benefit from the power of private sector, the idea of formation of a network was initiated using the similar experiences in other countries.

Creating synergy and improve the share of knowledge-based ecosystem in nationwide economy is the gist of long-term aims of TINET. One can name facilitation of creating synergy through making connection and interaction as the short-term aim of the network. The connection is categorized in three stages; government with private sector, companies and individuals, companies and market. The connections lead to the long-term aims of the network.

Integration for having access to information, responsibility to demands, vast services and development in all interaction are done in order to boost innovation and technology ecosystem networking.

As its name suggested, a network is a collection of services provided for different parts and active members who have a role in innovation ecosystem, whether it provides services or use services, have an idea or who want to buy the idea. All people who are interested in innovation ecosystem can be a member of the TINET.

When it talks about the network, the first issue is the chain-like interaction and connection in the network. In fact, the development of connection between the members of the network is very important for the members. The integration of accessibility to services and other elements of network is another important priority, which leads to transparency and competitiveness.  When the members known each other, they provide better services with more quality and in more reasonable price. Such characteristics pave the way for startups in order to develop more quickly.

It is noteworthy that TINET provides facilities for membership of startups and emerging companies and they can benefit from the facilities with a simple procedure.

TINET is not only a virtual network but a combination of virtual and real spaces. That means that the relationship and interaction in the network is a combination of virtual and real network. The main reason for such a relationship is supply and demand. The common fields in activities, researches, interests and demands lead to connection between members. The common aims are also another reason for interaction between the members. The common aim can be a shared knowledge or technology, which can established a relationship between two or more members.

A network with more than 5000 members in person and 600 companies active in the field of innovation and technology, paves the way for new services for boosting interaction between members. The network provides identity of the members with one-time registration.  Insurance services for startups are another facility provides by TINET. The members can use supplementary insurances services. The network also provides facilities for military services for elites to replace research projects for soldiering. Laboratories and research centers are provided by TINET for members to use.

Technology parks and vice presidency for science and technology as well as some companies at the private sectors has some organizations in order to provide facilities for their members. However TINET aims to integrates all organizations and provides services and facilities for all.

TINET aims to form innovation ecosystem to empower national technologies, motivate innovation and entrepreneurship, support top talents, and create synergy in order to boost knowledge-based economy in the country. It aims to gather all technology and innovation members together and support all members and parts of innovation ecosystem in order to actualize borderless innovation in future.

The Innovation Acceleration Center, supported by the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology, started work in 1393 by Pardis Technology Park to support innovation-based entrepreneurship.

Innovation Acceleration Center is aimed at promoting an entrepreneurial culture and supporting mechanisms that lead to the creating or developing sustainable and successful startups.

It has put on its agenda helping organize entrepreneurship events to promote entrepreneurial culture and helping accelerators and collaborative workspaces create sustainable startups.

The Entrepreneurship Event is a short-term gathering during which participants learn the concepts of entrepreneurship.

These events can transfer experience, or networking with other activists, or even an event that practically practice starting a business.

Some events focus on solving a specific problem in an industrial field, while others focus on issues in a field. All of the above items are among entrepreneurial events.

The Innovation Acceleration Center supports holding entrepreneurial events as a suitable tool in developing entrepreneurial culture and effort among students and youth.

Events during which entrepreneurial skills such as brainstorming, teamwork, networking, etc. are taught.

In these events, skills and training are transferred better. The Innovation Acceleration Center has supported holding more than 500 entrepreneurship events.

These events were held in 29 provinces, 21 technology parks and 56 universities, in the presence of more than 1,100 instructors and speakers, by over 100 organizers and more than 30,000 people.

The models of holding events that have been materially and spiritually supported by the center are as follows:

• Educational-promotional
• Educational-experimental
• Experience transfer
• Presenting idea to investor
• Solving the problem
• Competition
• School of entrepreneurship
• Networking
• Start-up tour

Thanks to the significant growth and development of the innovative businesses, the need to create supportive and specialized infrastructure is felt more than ever.

Accelerators contribute to the growth of startups by creating a suitable and specialized work space, professional consulting and mentoring, and ultimately share their benefits.

Simply, these accelerators, by providing expert services and valuable consultations, prevent start-up teams from wasting time and money and help them grow and enter the market in much less time than usual.

Since the beginning of the Innovation Acceleration Center, one of its goals has been to create a mechanism to create and develop sustainable startups.

The results of the study and consultations with experienced companies in this field show that the two mechanisms that have been implemented in the world and have brought about good results are shared workspaces and accelerators.

These mechanisms provide an opportunity for start-ups to become familiar with business skills and to pave the way for their success.

Since its inauguration, over 70 private sector accelerators focusing on material and spiritual assistance have been launched.

Over 2,500 teams have been involved in the pre-acceleration processes and over 700 teams have joined acceleration.

Successful startups in accelerators have also hit 400.

Accelerators’ expenses for acceleration activities have reached 200 billion tomans, a quarter of which is the support provided by the government with regard to facilities and grants.

The Innovation Acceleration Center has spared no effort as a link between the private sector and the government to facilitate and prepare the business space and has always been keen on using the entrepreneurial activists’ opinions.

These spaces, whose mission is to create suitable physical infrastructure for startups, individuals and freelancers, play an important role in the entrepreneurship.

Managers of these spaces earn money from renting shared tables by reducing the daily concerns of the group and making the space attractive.

The innovation in managing these spaces has made them be able to negotiate with large industries and enterprises and hunt good projects for their teams.

One of the most important pillars of these items is freelancers who both serve outside and help teams and startups.

One of the most important outcomes of these spaces are teams and startups that are considered as input for accelerators.

Since last year, 15 private-sector shared workspaces have joined the Innovation Acceleration Center.

Over 17,000 square meters of workspace in shared workspaces have so far been equipped and used, which has provided a capacity of 3,000 participations for activities.

The Innovation Acceleration Center’s approval and its membership, helps bodies become knowledge-based and will bring about material and spiritual support from Vice Presidency for Science and Technology and Pardis Technology Park.
