The world is changing and the pace of change is increasing day by day. Iran, like all countries of the world, needs to develop technology to achieve progress and comprehensive development. Hence, various mechanisms, including science and technology parks, have been developed to achieve technological goals and  sustainable development. The main objective of this paper is to examine the concepts, processes, and models available and, taking into consideration the effective work that has been done in the world's most prominent parks, to model Applicable to science and technology parks in the world. The data gathering method was deep interviews with ten managers, experts from Technology Park and Shezan Accelerated Center. The first phase is to identify the challenges of park development in the form of three main themes, marketing challenges, management and structural challenges, and the challenge of the ecosystem of technology. Finally, the two models are depicted. In the second phase, in order to overcome these challenges, we have proposed strategic solutions that are based on four main themes of management and organizational solutions, the creation of technology ecosystems, marketing strategies and supportive strategies.
