🇮🇷🏭 Iran Tech Hub Develops 110 New Products Despite US-Israeli Attacks Iran’s largest technology hub says its companies developed more than 110 new technological products over the past year, despite disruptions to equipment procurement, financing, exports and market access. The work continued through a period that included two rounds of US-Israeli attacks on Iran, according to Pardis Technology Park chief Mehdi Safarinia. Some of the technologies were produced in Iran for the first time and were developed to replace unavailable foreign products or meet domestic industrial needs. Pardis is not a single laboratory. It is an ecosystem of hundreds of technology companies working across fields including electronics, medical equipment, software, advanced manufacturing and industrial technologies. Companies based there have now produced more than 30,000 technological products and services in total. At the park’s annual gathering this week, companies showcased technologies including an intelligent ultrasound system, an AI-based blood-pressure monitoring system and a magnetic centrifugal pump. The more important part of Pardis’ model is what happens after research. Safarinia said the park is trying to create a continuous path from university research to prototypes, industrial production and finally the market. That addresses one of the hardest problems in building an independent technology base: turning scientific capability into equipment and products that domestic industries can actually use. For Iran, that process has an obvious strategic dimension. Restrictions on access to foreign equipment, finance and markets make dependence on imported high-tech products unusually risky. War adds another layer: technologies used in healthcare, communications, energy and industrial production can become national-security assets when external supply chains are disrupted. Pardis is therefore increasingly being used as more than a startup cluster. Iranian officials want it to coordinate technological capabilities across universities, private companies and industry when imported solutions are unavailable. The 110 new products do not mean Iran has eliminated its dependence on foreign technology, and the park has not published a complete breakdown showing how many have already reached mass production. But they show that pressure on Iran’s access to foreign technology has not stopped product development. Instead, Iranian companies are continuing to push more of the chain — research, engineering, manufacturing and commercialization — inside the country. @NewRulesGeo❗Follow us on X
