Why it matters:
Iran and Russia signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership on January 17, 2025. The agreement aims to strengthen various relations between the two countries. Following the agreement, the two countries hold meetings for further relevant arrangements.
The big picture:
Pardis Technology Park (PTP), the biggest technology park in West Asia, intensifies high-tech industries in Iran. It also paves the ground for start-up companies, university graduates, and entrepreneurs with specific ideas, and a lack of financial resources and work experience.
What we're hearing:
Mojtaba Jabbaripour, Vice President of Tehran's Pardis Park technology research center: " Pardis Technology Park aims at interaction of knowledge and technology at the international level.
Mahdi Basati Panah, Representative of Peter The Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University in Iran, noted:" Iran plans to get consultations from Russian scholars on resolving energy imbalance in Iran."
