My Journey at ICT Park
I joined
ICT Park in 2019 in the capacity of International and Communication Advisor. In a newly established S&T park, my first mission was to build ICT Park’s brand and then promote it in Iran’s Technology and Innovation Ecosystem and try to integrate it into the regional and international innovation ecosystem.
After four years and in collaboration with my professional team, ICT Park is now a well-known brand not only in Iran, but also in the Middle East, Africa, South East Asia, and Russia as well as some countries in South East Asia like Malaysia.
Communication-wise, we designed the LOGO of the ICT Park as well as its official website. ICT Park's website is quadrilingual, covering
Persian,
English,
Arabic and
Pashto. In addition to this website, we use various essential tools and persuasive communication and public relations techniques to provide accurate and transparent information to both domestic and international audiences. These include the ICT Park
Monthly Quadrilingual Newsletter, the Park's news outlet,
multilingual thematic bulletins,
multimedia content,
virtual tours, news podcasts,
ICT Park's Library and multilingual
advertising brochures.
Regarding international prospects and to become a world-class S&T park, we initiated and expanded collaboration with many countries like Tunisia, Ethiopia, Mali, Algeria, Afghanistan, Russia, and Malaysia among other countries. It has been a long path, but fortunately, it is still ongoing. Now, we host many delegations from different countries and three different continents.
On top of all the above-mentioned experiences and having
CSR as a priority in our mind, we learned and achieved a lot throughout our journey. Thanks to God, due to the blessing that we have gained by working in ICT Park, we could extend our pure academic concerns, becoming an active team fully integrated and familiar with Iran’s Technology and Innovation Ecosystem. During the last four years, we have experienced working with many key role players (both policymakers and executive people) in Iran’s Technology and Innovation Ecosystem as well as over 100 knowledge-based companies and enterprises.
All around the world, technology and innovation ecosystems are very dynamic, fluid and challenging. In Iran too, even though we faced many challenges, we could manage to create and provide a lot of opportunities. Hopefully, in due time, we will share all those experiences and knowledge with others.
Before I share some of these activities and achievements, I shall conclude this message by expressing my sincere thanks to the Key members of my team: Ms. Mina Rasti, a very accountable, dedicated and decisive team leader in the group and other members (below), who were always supportive and passionate as team members.
