This concept refers to all economic factors and economic relationships as well as non-economic components such as technologies, institutions, social interactions and culture that enable the formation and diffusion of innovation. The present study, which uses a qualitative approach and action research strategy, has analyzed a policy program called the development and enhancement of the province's innovation ecosystem (TANA) which was implemented in the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology in response to a policy problem means weakness and inadequacy in the ecosystem of innovation in different provinces. The findings of the research show that the mentioned program has positive points and advantages such as promoting innovation discourse, strengthening the link between universities, research centers and technology centers and increasing legitimacy of science and technology parks among the actors of the province's innovation ecosystem. In addition, the weaknesses and inadequacies of program were observed and identified in four dimensions including the supply and idea side, the demand and need side, the executive organization side and the policy side were observed and identified. Then, these weaknesses and inadequacies are used as a basis for providing solutions and suggestions to improve and strengthen the program in five areas as follow: financial support and investment, support for cultural development and promotion of discourse, support for ideation and team building, encouraging and stimulating the demand side and supporting networking and match-making.
