TEHRAN – The seventh technology complex in Iran was inaugurated on Monday in the city of Tabriz, northwestern province of East Azarbaijan, IRNA reported.

Established by the presidential office’s innovation and prosperity fund, the complex houses 24 knowledge enterprises, which are active throughout the province.

East Azarbaijan province ranks fifth regarding the number of knowledge enterprises in Iran, the head of Innovation and Prosperity Fund Behzad Soltani announced during the opening ceremony.

“According to our plan, East Azarbaijan will come in third within three years,” he said.
