Khorasan Science and Technology Park - KSTP

Khorasan Science and Technology Park (KSTP) is one of the largest science parks in Iran, and was established in September 2008.

Its strategic mission is to increase community wealth by encouraging and promoting a culture of innovation, and enhancing the competitiveness of tech-based companies and institutions in the park environment. It works to provide a platform for technology transfer and development, increase high value-added production, attract foreign investment, and help growing companies to enter global markets.

The main technology sectors at KSTP include materials engineering and metallurgy, ceramics engineering, chemistry and analysis, surface coating engineering and electronics, and the park boasts the largest laboratory complex in the east of the country. This complex, with ISO17025 certification, is a partner laboratory of large governmental and industrial organizations and provides services to technology companies and scientists based in Khorasan Science and Technology Park, as well as to researchers and students.

It includes laboratories focused on Materials and Metallurgy, Energy, Ceramic Pilot and Surface Engineering, Mechanical Properties and Building Mechanics, Chemistry, an Environmental Lab, and an Electrical Lab.

In addition to laboratory access, other services to resident companies include intellectual property advice and support in the international patent application process.

In 2020 KSTP signed an agreement to establish a new KSTP branch at the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, to expand the physical space available for technology-based companies.
