This Research study focuses on the effective formulation and implementation of a national innovation system. It emphasizes that a concept of regional innovation system is a good tool to generate an effective national innovation system, as it can effectively create different regional innovation systems in different regions. Based on this theoretical review, this research will analyze Iranian national innovation systems in terms of mapping of innovation actors.
