  • Train Qualified Personnel: Fostering education in science and technology management.
  • Improve Education Quality: Raising standards in related educational and research fields.
  • Promote Decision-Making: Influencing technology-related decisions at the national level.

As reported by ISNA, the conference will host 15 specialized meetings that cover a wide array of topics in science and technology policymaking and management. Attendees will include high-ranking managers from both national and international companies, creating a platform for sharing expertise and addressing the latest challenges and trends in the industry.

Additionally, an exhibition dedicated to innovation and technology will take place alongside the conference. This exhibition will feature leading knowledge-based and innovative companies, providing invaluable networking opportunities and a stage to showcase the most recent achievements and services within the innovation and technology ecosystem.

Founded in 2003, IRAMOT stands as the premier scientific association in Iran, boasting over 5,000 members. This association serves as a hub for industry and academia, engaging in various initiatives, including:

  1. Organizing conferences and workshops.
  2. Publishing newsletters and books.
  3. Acting as a national information exchange center on teaching and research issues in Management of Technology (MOT).

The annual conference hosted by IRAMOT is recognized as a key gathering for leaders from industry, academia, and policymaking, specifically in the fields of Innovation and Technology Management throughout West Asia.

Moreover, a recent report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) highlights that Iran ranks 72nd among 166 countries in terms of technology and innovation. This represents an improvement of one position since 2022, placing Iran within the upper middle-income country category.

The UNCTAD Technology and Innovation Report 2025 identifies 17 types of frontier technologies, which include:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Internet of Things
  • Big Data
  • 5G Technology
  • 3D Printing
  • Robotics
  • Drone Technology
  • Solar Photovoltaic
  • Concentrated Solar Power
  • Biofuels
  • Biogas and Biomass
  • Wind Energy
  • Green Hydrogen
  • Electric Vehicles
  • Nanotechnology
  • Gene Editing

The 2025 report, titled “Inclusive Artificial Intelligence for Development,” explores the intricate landscape of artificial intelligence, aiming to assist policymakers in crafting strategies that promote inclusive technological advancement. It advocates for an AI framework centered around human needs, emphasizing the necessity for global collaboration where all nations have a voice.

In addition, the report identifies three critical leverage points that can enhance technological progress:

  • Infrastructure: Building robust technological foundations.
  • Data: Ensuring access to quality data for innovation.
  • Skills: Developing a workforce proficient in emerging technologies.

The 2025 sub-indices for readiness concerning frontier technologies reveal that Iran excels in the research and development sub-index, ranking 35th globally. Meanwhile, the country has made strides in the finance sub-index, improving from 62nd in 2022 to 56th in 2025. However, in other areas such as skills and the establishment of information and communication technology, Iran’s rankings have declined from 74th and 78th in 2022 to 82nd and 94th in 2025, respectively.

Overall, the 15th Conference on Management of Technology and Innovation is set to be a landmark event for Iran, positioning the nation to leverage its technological capabilities for future growth and development.
