Admission at ISTT follows three stages: a six-month pre-incubation period for teams that do not yet have a legal entity; a three-year incubator stay for young technology firms; and location in Sheikh Bahaei or Abourihan science parks for grown companies. Parks benefit from free-zone-style tax and labour rules, including a 20-year tax exemption from the date of settlement.

Four working groups — mining and extraction, smartisation, non-ferrous metals and advanced materials — to complete the steel supply chain with knowledge-based firms.
Member companies in agricultural inputs, livestock, poultry, aquaculture, water and the environment, under Sheikh Bahaei park management.
Built on Iran’s first specialised ICT incubator. Priority fields include cloud, data analytics, IoT, cybersecurity, AI, 5G, AR/VR, blockchain and edge computing.
Specialised and satellite incubators include ICT, steel, art and media (with Isfahan University of Art), agriculture and natural resources, culture and creative industries, urban management (with Isfahan Municipality), and off-campus sites such as Najafabad and Shahreza.
