Today, innovation, flexibility, and readiness for change are considered the most important factors in economic development in countries. A review of the experiences of other countries and the world’s new approaches to sustainable development based on innovation emphasizes that moving towards a knowledge-based economy requires understanding innovation. On the other hand, innovation is a complex process, and to achieve an innovative and sustainable business environment, a set of actors, factors, infrastructure, laws, and a set of norms and rules must exist together and be able to interact well with each other.
Studies show that over the past two decades, many leading and well-known companies (such as General Motors, IBM, Kodak, Nokia, BlackBerry, Motorola, Yahoo, AOL, Xerox, etc.) have either completely disappeared, lost their market share, or been acquired and merged by other companies. A point that is generally repeated in the story of the failure of these companies is the lack of innovation. On the other hand, the emergence of risky, innovative, and agile businesses in the form of startups has threatened the market share of traditional and old companies, and the transformation of business models is now a necessity. Studies indicate that 38% of the world’s top 200 companies have launched innovation centers in various formats, with more than half of these innovation centers located in Silicon Valley.
