iBRIDGES is an annual convention for Iranian diaspora to meet with Iranian entrepreneurs and businesspeople.[1] The primary goal of the convention is to bridge the gap between the Iranian high-tech start-ups and the western investors.[2] The discussions in this convention are intended to primarily focus on entrepreneurship opportunities in Iran's tech industry rather than its internal or foreign policies.[3][4]
The 2014 convention in UC Brekeley attracted more than 500 Iranian high-tech executives and entrepreneurs.[5] The 2015 convention in Berlin is called "the largest gathering of Iranians outside the country in more than three decades".[6] Dave McClure, one of 2015 attendees, counts the large population of Iran and its educated population as potential for startups in the country.[2]
The convention is also implicitly aimed at bridging the gap in international relationship between Iran and western countries,[7] especially at the time of diplomatic negotiations between Iran and western countries on Iran's nuclear program.[2]
