Each park, based on the needs of its region and the characteristics of its founding body, may prioritize one or several motivating factors mentioned above. Regional-led parks often emphasize the growth and development of regional institutions, while some university-led parks focus on the commercialization of university research outcomes. Zanjan province, being known as an industrial and academic province, sees the establishment of the park as a foundation for its development and as a driving force in technological advancements within local businesses. It is hoped that the park's creation will not only contribute to regional development but also play a proactive role in promoting university research and commercializing research outcomes.
