Abstract
Today, technology is accounted as one of the most significant factors of economic and industrial development in the world. Countries use different ways and methods to facilitate technology transfer and transaction in local, national, international and global levels. Creating techno-mart as center of technology transaction is one of the advanced mechanisms for the above purpose. In Iran, technology transfer and transaction do not follow a stable and coherent system. This weakness is the main cause of many problems for technology suppliers such as; elites, state organizations, and industrial sector especially small and medium size enterprises (SME's). In this paper technology transaction and transfer has been discussed and some cases of techno-mart in Europe and Asia have been reviewed. Then, survey research including interviews with experts from techno-mart and related fields experts (such as technology law, technology evaluation and marketing, supportive funds, etc.) were used to present a model of national techno-mart in Iran. In this model, mission and goals, different sections, ownership, internal process and techno-mart communications at national level along with necessary requirements for establishing a techno-mart environment have been described. It is derived from this study that other nations' experiences in dealing with requirements and primary infrastructures of techno-mart, is expected to lead policy makers towards a better decision making and planning.
