Join DEDN

The process of membership in the Information and Communication Technology Park begins with the official invitation of the president of ICT Park from heads of science and technology parks. (Science and technology parks need to join DEDN to benefit from ICT Park’s support programs mentioned below). The applicants are required to complete the official application for membership in DEDN and submit it via e-mail to the network’s email address along with the supporting documents (tad@ict-park.ir). After the initial review of the submitted applications, the DEDN cadre of expert assessors provides a professional report. Ultimately, the Admission Council holds a session to assess the applications. The final decision regarding the acceptance of the applicants will be made in accordance with the results of the assessment sessions held by the Park Admission Council. The acceptance results will be submitted to the applicant center in a documented format and a five-year MoU will be signed between ICT Park and the newly joined center.
