Technology development and commercialization process is a capital intensive activity. So, science, Technology and Innovation financing, by an appropriate method, in appropriate time and by the appropriate resources is a very important issue. Innovative firms’ financing methods vary in different stages of the company life cycle; from personal resources to banking resources, venture capital, crowdfunding, and stock markets. Different actors use different financing methods and together shape the Innovation Financing System (IFS). In this paper we first introduce financing sources for innovative companies at different stages of their life cycle and then explore the players of Innovation financing system. Then, while reviewing the global trends of Innovation financing and financing trends in developing countries, an institutional map of Iran's Innovation financing system is presented.

Regional Innovation system (RIS) is one of the complementary approaches to Innovation systems. Due to increase of regional imbalances and inequalities, RIS have recently attracted prominent attention of policy makers. Every region has its unique characteristics that affect economic transformation and evolution. Therefore, national policy mix is not sufficient to address specific regional needs. So, policymakers should consider socio-economic factors and institutional settings beside knowledge exploration and exploitation systems in regional level. According to Innovation systems literature, this article attempts to introduce fundamental concepts of RIS, most known typologies of regions and, appropriate RIS policies. In addition, a case study of RIS in provinces of Iran is discussed in the end of this article.

Introduction: From a long time ago, benefiting from Technology has been an inevitable thing for human interests, which is born and based on science. It can be claimed that there is harmony between ethics, science and Technology, which promote each other. In this article, the researcher discusses this harmony and compatibility. Material and Methods: The current review study was descriptive and using the study of sources and research keywords among the books and articles published in the databases of Thomson Information Institute, Science Direct and Pub Med. Conclusion: As science and Technology continue to advance and become more integrated into our daily lives, ethical considerations become increasingly important. For example, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised questions about the potential implications of creating machines that can make autonomous decisions and take actions. If science and Technology were considered as a tool, it should have been able to subjugate humans and influence all aspects of behavior and values. While it has become a problem that eventually becomes aligned with morality by applying reason, and people now seek help from it as a tool.

Scientific production of Iran’s scientists holds the needed potential and wealth to be the world’s reference in science and knowledge. Based on this and by following guidelines of the supreme leader of the Islamic revolution, preservation, persistence, and reinforcement of the scientific production debate has unavoidable urgency and priority in academic and scientific circles and gatherings.

Policy evaluation is essential for governments to improving effectiveness and accountability. In science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) domain in line with the growth of national and regional policymaking, the literature and experiences of policy evaluation have been developed. In this paper, after reviewing concepts and various components of policy evaluation including criteria, timing, methodologies, and indicators a complete evaluation process with its all modules is presented. The main criteria including appropriateness, efficiency, and effectiveness with their indicators, quadruple timing including ex-ante, real-time, intermediate, and ex-post evaluation, triple levels of aggregation including policy, program, and activity as well as quantitative, qualitative, and semiquantitative methodologies are mentioned as evaluation components that prepare necessary information for evaluation expert groups in a systematic process. The results of policy evaluation are always published and provide feedback to policymakers for improving the goals and programs. The paper also discusses the evaluability of policies and at the end presents an evaluation experience for nanoTechnology policies in Iran.

In order to improve understanding of the structure and dynamics of Innovation systems, researchers and policy analysts have studied the various empirical cases. However, policymakers often face with problems in exploiting practical strategies. Among the different approaches to Innovation systems, the technological Innovation system has a close relationship with the concept of Innovation policy. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to investigate the technological Innovation system, its structures and functions and also to analyse this concept for a scheme of Innovation policy and Technology development. The influence of contexts and life cycles that affect the policy process are also considered. Finally, in order to illustrate the application of the concepts, the photovoltaic technological Innovation system in Iran is investigated.

Despite international sanctions against Iran's nuclear activities, radiopharmaceutical Technology has made significant progress over recent years. This paper intends to investigate the radiopharmaceutical Technology Innovation system in Iran using the Innovation motors approach. This study uses both the field and the library research and conducted between 1369-1359. The theoretical basis of this research is Innovation motors model. This paper is carried out using the “ mixed method” to evaluating all aspects of the system using "exploratory method". This purpose was done in the qualitative section using the "Event History Analysis"method and in the quantitative section using the survey research and Structural Equation Modeling. Then, according to the exploratory method, the Innovation motors of the radiopharmaceutical technological Innovation system were identified. According to the result of the quantitative method we found that the "system building motor" loops are formed, but according to the qualitative section, it can be seen that the characteristics of the system in the system building motor are not completely consistent with the current situation. Therefore, the incomplete formation of the system building motor has been accepted and accordingly, we identified the threshold of the system building motor. Finally, recommendations were presented to complete construction motor and complete climb to the system building motor.

Establishing science and Technology parks (STPs) and Incubators has had a considerable acceleration in the world because of their key role and functions of developing Innovation and technological infrastructures in all countries. In this paper the authors try to conduct an appropriate survey on STPs and incubators’ literature and definitions and their functions from various perspectives. By concluding research findings in this field, advantages and effects of STPs on Innovation and Technology could be realized from two perspectives: Organizational one covering quick establishing of knowledge-base firms, commercialization of technological ideas and ease in absorbing capital and financing tools, and regional and national one like continuous relationships between universities and industries, creating job opportunities for local experts, transferring functional technologies and improvement of business environments and entrepreneurship.
