High Tech Entrepreneurship in Iran: Opportunities and Challenges

For the first time, seasoned entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley and Iran will convene to discuss the opportunities and challenges of high tech entrepreneurship in Iran and its impact on the country's ongoing economic development. The conference is predicated on the notion that the promotion of entrepreneurship and innovation is the indispensable key to sustainable growth.

In compliance with sanctions and corresponding laws, conference participants will educate each other on the issues impacting high tech entrepreneurship in Iran, the extent to which prevailing conditions in the country deviate from the "Silicon Valley model," and the steps that should be taken to reduce this gap.

The conference is scheduled for Saturday, September 6 at the Wheeler Auditorium on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley.  To learn more, visit
