Partnership with Industry and Business

Isfahan Science and Technology Town, initiated by IUT faculty members in 1993, encompasses many Science Parks and Incubators in an area of 520 ha. Its vicinity with IUT has created a great opportunity to establish close links and collaborations with large industries to meet a sustainable economic growth. This town is a large place where a combination of different divisions such as spin-off companies, manufacturing and service companies, research centers and governmental R&D units and organizations are clustered to meet its all-pervasive objectives.
