Why it matters:
The establishment of this center reflects Iran's efforts to expand its technological influence in Central Asia, a region that is increasingly focusing on digital transformation. For Tajikistan, this collaboration could accelerate the country's innovation ecosystem.
The big picture:
The Iran-Tajikistan Technology Center in the city of Dushanbe was established based on a cooperation agreement between the Innovation and Digital Technologies Agency affiliated with the presidency of Tajikistan and the International Scientific and Technological Cooperation Development Organization of the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology of Iran.
This center was founded according to a memorandum of understanding signed during the recent visit of Mohammad Reza Aref, the First Vice President of Iran, to Tajikistan.
