This research is fundamental objectively (empirical fundamental research) and it is non-experimental in terms of data collection method (acquisitive research) and according to the research approach is qualitative. This research was implemented with a multiple case study strategy, which ultimately the research objective will be realized by identifying the steps, the activities of main beneficiaries and the contributing factors in the business development of technological ideas derived from case studies with each other and with the research literature. The study population included research institutes and government research institutes covered by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, Ministry of Health, Medical Education, or other executive agencies.

Highlights
The business development of technological ideas and their transfer from universities and research institutes to private sector industries and enterprises is a subject that has attracted the attention of many managers and active agents in the field of science and technology policy in different countries over the past three decades because the effect of achieving technology and its effective use has been proven as one of the important factors in increasing GDP and industrial and economic productivity of countries (Bandarian and Ghabezi, 2009)
Investigating previous studies indicate that this research, either merely investigates the aspect of business development or problems such as this; the distinction between business research and business development of technology, the literature of the subject of research is not well studied, the use of research and research conducted has a significant differences with the concept of business development of research and technology findings, only prioritizing the major challenges affecting the business development of research findings of universities and research centers are investigated and no specific solutions have been proposed to overcome these challenges, and business development of technology has been considered synonymous with technology transfer
It should be noted that by using the Parole Act, about 20% of the factors that considered important by almost 80% of interviewees in the process of business development and there is almost a consensus on their importance are presented as the main factors in the model of business development of technological idea in the state research institutes of the country in the final model
Summary
The business development of technological ideas and their transfer from universities and research institutes to private sector industries and enterprises is a subject that has attracted the attention of many managers and active agents in the field of science and technology policy in different countries over the past three decades because the effect of achieving technology and its effective use has been proven as one of the important factors in increasing GDP and industrial and economic productivity of countries (Bandarian and Ghabezi, 2009). According to what was mentioned, this research focuses on identifying the main components of the business development model of technological ideas in research institutes in Iran, and essentially differs from many of the above-mentioned projects, especially in terms of the depth of examination of the concepts of business development in the field of library studies and in the applied field
