Abstract

Iran has engaged in intensive activities in building its national innovation system in recent decades. To achieve its ambitions to become an innovative nation, it has enacted many laws and adopted a variety of policies. This chapter analyzes the evolution of science, technology and innovation laws and policies of last 25 years in the country. This chapter also discusses the future of STI (science, technology and innovation) policies and the challenges the country faces in technological development. This chapter confirms the view that government could play a determining role in the supply side of the national system of innovation by the provision of a well-developed scientific and educational infrastructure for the development of technology.
