About Us
Empowering Innovation Through Global Collaboration
The D-8 Technology Transfer and Exchange Network (D-8 TTEN) is the official platform connecting eight developing nations — Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Türkiye — to accelerate technology transfer, innovation, and industrial collaboration. Established in 2012 and headquartered at Pardis Technology Park, Iran, D-8 TTEN acts as a bridge between governments, research centers, and private sectors — helping innovators find partners, investors, and new markets across member countries. Through technology matchmaking, capacity-building programs, and international investment events, we aim to strengthen scientific cooperation and build a sustainable innovation ecosystem that benefits all D-8 members and beyond.
