Summary
Development of science, technology and innovation, particularly developing high technologies has been an important focus of Iran's leaders in recent years. Excellence in science and technology and promoting a knowledge-based economy have been considered in the national 20 year vision 2005–2025 and the fourth five-year development plan 2005–2010.

Then, the government strategies for strengthening this system are developed by SWOT analysis.
