Among the current entrepreneurial events of these days, which have been considerably welcomed by the youth, a new event called “Mopac” has initiated its activities, aiming to present entrepreneurship through weekend startups by through a new method to be an intermediator between ideas and market.

According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, urbanism has continued its development in the world, which is not limited to developing countries. We have witnessed developments in industrial and advanced areas of the world, such as Europe. Currently, more than 50% of the inhabitants of the earth are living in cities, which will reach 60% by 2030. It has been predicted that more than five billion people will be known as urban residents in the next 15 years.

From a scientific point of view, a smart city is where there are investments in human resources and social assets, transportation and communication based on information technology for intelligent use of natural resources and continuous development of economy and improvement of quality of life.

Therefore, intelligent cities are considered as an important and strategic tool in the process of development of future cities.

One of the necessities of living in future cities is phone app. For instance, app to show the nearest parking lot in the route can play a significant role in saving time and fuel and, most of all, decreased traffic.

In this system, RFID tags are placed on recycled materials so that their categorization in the cycling process is facilitated. Therefore, plastic bottles can be tracked and there will be no trace of these wastes in the nature. Warning systems and crisis management are some of the other technologies that must be more emphasized in future cities.

Smart Phones and Urban Life

One of the most attractive and dynamic areas of information and communication technology is GSM technology or cellphone. The pace of development and penetration of mobile phones has significantly increased due to the commercialization of 4th generation mobile technology and having the ability to use internet in motion, as well as the process of digitization of activities and demand for accelerated pace of tasks.

The aim of weekend startups is helping to create a dynamic and knowledge-oriented environment to provide scientific and counseling services for idea owners and creative individuals in all areas, especially the new and important area of ICT.

One of the benefits of businesses formed in startups is their accelerated growth, which has led to proper economic development and occupation creation. Successful samples of startup businesses confirm this notion.
