Two Innovation Centers Help Advance Psychological, Geographical Startups

Iran’s Vice-Presidential Office for Science and Technology has joined the University of Tehran to launch two innovation centers for expanding startup and knowledge-based ecosystems focused on psychology and geography.

Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari inaugurated the centers during his visit to the university on Monday, his office’s website Isti.ir reported.

The psychology tech center, backed by UT’s Psychology Department, can house 20 teams. The center provides financial aid, shared workspace, consultation on commercializing their ideas and business management. Four knowledge-based teams have already started working at the site.

The second tech center, launched in the university’s Geography Department, is primarily geared toward expanding the job market for geography students.

According to UT officials, talented graduates in the field will get the opportunity to actualize their innovative ideas in the field.
