The national technomart of Iran has aimed to hold the eight startup demo in the education area to attract investment for the related startups in order to develop the innovation and startup ecosystem of the country.

According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, one of the challenges of the innovation and startup ecosystem of the country is lack of investment attraction opportunities. In the startup demo events, it is aimed to provide an opportunity for new companies and startups to find investors and an infrastructure for investors to evaluate the prepared companies with investment capacity.

The main goal of this event is direct negotiation between idea owners and startups with investors. This event will be held in two sections of public (presenting startups) and exclusive (negotiation meetings between startups and investors).

In a short duration, investors can evaluate startups and assess the progress of ideas, customer attraction, market volume, sales rate and other issues after private meetings to express their opinions about investment in this area. Acceptance of investment is accompanied by further negotiations by the technomart until reaching the desired result.

This event will be held March 3^rd 2018 in Shahid Beheshti University in the presence of specialized investors of this field and education startups (in the area of online education, learning management system, technology education, next generation schools and study tools) as investors.

Registration deadline of the event is February 24^th 2018, and enthusiasts of this field can refer to the website of www.techmart.ir or contact the phone number of +9821-6454666 to acquire information about the event.
