Artificial intelligence, one of the fastest growing fields of technology which is fundamentally changing many aspects of today's life, has made significant progress in Iran, a country with unique opportunities and challenges.

According to The Iran Project, The number of startups operating on data analysis, machine learning, and computer vision is growing in Iran where they provide a variety of services to customers by using artificial intelligence-based innovations.

Some of these startups have managed to attract domestic and international investments and are gradually developing and expanding their activities.

One of the key features of the AI ecosystem in Iran is the growing cooperation between universities and industry. These collaborations help new companies and startups exploit knowledge and scientific research and provide new products and services based on artificial intelligence.

The commercialization of academic knowledge is increasingly seen as a potential economic development model, particularly for improving the capabilities and economic performance of regions.

The interaction between science and industry not only helps to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence in Iran, but also leads to increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of these companies in domestic and foreign markets.
