Social Innovation Startup Weekend
• We aim that participants consider the current social challenges and obstacles, and to
find out how technology may become handy in handling these challenges. Also how we
can bring these challenges to citizens active in social networks to pivot their innovation
toward solving these problems.
• In this event, innovators had 60 seconds, to come up with new ideas. Then, through
voting (participants could vote for top three favorite ideas), 10 ideas were chosen,
groups were established and started working. In 54 hours each group had to create a
comprehensive draft of the idea which they had been entitled to. On the last day of the
event, each group had 5 minutes to introduce the idea to the judges and had 3 minutes
to answer to the judges’ questions.

Diaspora Engagement & IranX Programs
The Diaspora Engagement-program provides members of the Iranian diaspora and diaspora
organizations, as key stakeholders, a more effective and systematic avenue to directly connect
their resources, expertise and networks to support social ventures in Iran.
Our program enables members of the Iranian diaspora and diaspora organizations to allocate
resources, time (through mentoring or advising), and networks to support these organizations.
Because of Tehran Hub rigorous selection process, organizations receiving comprehensive
incubation/accelerator services and other professional services go through a due diligence
process, upgrading their leadership, management and program systems. Members of the
Iranian diaspora can therefore have the ease of mind when allocating their resources, time and
expertize, it will not go to waste!
The IranX-program is an an educational and leadership exchange program targeting Iranian
social entrepreneurs. The aim is to exchange and build the management skills and leadership
capabilities of Iranian social entrepreneurs with regional/international organizations in the US,
EU countries with a vibrant social entrepreneurship sector and culture. Exchange programs
offer opportunities for Iranian social entrepreneurs to learn, prosper and work with others from
different cultures and backgrounds to solve shared problems and ensure a prosperous future as
leaders. It also offers opportunities to increase cultural appreciation, empathy and
understanding.

Social Entrepreneurship in Iran
Iran
Iran’s society faces critical, social, economic, environmental and cultural challenges. Most striking
among the challenges is the growing rate of unemployment and rising demand for inclusive,
equitable and sustainable jobs in this vast and diverse country that is, inter alia, characterized by
its expanding educated youth. This trend will unavoidably compound the continued pressures on
natural resources, health care, labor markets, infrastructure and other public goods in the country.
Although the Iranian government has supported the country’s charitable sector to address the
country’s challenges, these organizations have been fairly ineffective due to lack of organizational,
leadership, financial and programmatic capacity. The government will continue to face a
herculean challenge to ensure quality social and economic services for all citizens, while at the
same time the sustainability of the private sector has been threatened by continued economic
challenges and mismanagement.
Up until now social entrepreneurs in Iran have had no systematic support infrastructure to launch
their innovative solutions or ideas to tackle the country’s social, economic, and environmental
problems. There are a growing number of Iranian entrepreneurs who want to deliver positive
impact to their society, promote human dignity and greater social equity.

Iran
Iranian social entrepreneurs are tapping into new models for development through social
entrepreneurship for social impact, wealth creation and improvements of their local communities.
Iran has an estimated social
entrepreneurship market of 50,000 to
75,000 active participants
An estimated 20,000 to 25,000 of
these social entrepreneurs are
actively engaged in an initiative,
organization, or startup with a social,
economic or environmental objective

Iran
Recent survey (GMU University, 2015) carried out in the field of social entrepreneurship in Iran
with 150 respondents (83% men and 17% women, with 86% with university degrees, 10% PhDs)
revealing the following key highlights about social entrepreneurship in Iran:
A. ‘Social innovators’ are associated with ‘pioneers’ or ‘problem solvers’, whereas ‘innovation’ is
associated with use of technology or changing peoples attitude and consumption patterns.

Iran
B. Iranian social entrepreneurs were also asked about their familiarity with the term social entrepreneurship,
which is quite revealing of a growing understanding, but also sensitization needs to educate and learn more
about social entrepreneurship. In fact, 83% would like to learn more about social entrepreneurship.

Iran
C. The level of engagement of Iranian social entrepreneurs with SoCent Initiatives in the country is
quite extraordinary. The majority of these initiatives are taking place in Tehran (leading with 73%), and
the remaining in Isfahan (9%), Shiraz (11%), Mashad (2%) and Tabriz (5%) .

Iran
D. More importantly, relevance of using social entrepreneurship to solve social, economic and
environmental problems is given to the fields of Health Care, Education, Combat against economic
exclusion of vulnerable groups and solutions to environmental problems.

Iran
E. The type of support that has been mostly needed/mostly cited to support social entrepreneurs in
Iran, are:

Social Entrepreneurship
Iran
F. There are numerous issues to be addressed in order to enhance the social entrepreneur ecosystem and a lot needs to be done.
There are social entrepreneurs across the country, but not until recently, they did not identify themselves as such. There is currently
no legal framework to categorize social enterprises, which means that social entrepreneurs are treated as any commercial business.
Also so many people and key players are trying to identify all charity founder and activists as social entrepreneurs.
