The governance of research and innovation represents a complex network of government, universities, firms and RTOs that has undergone significant conceptual and practical transformations during recent decade. Drawing upon Acciai’s framework, which comprises political orientation, institutional coordination, and interest intermediation, this article examines Iran’s research and innovation policy design. Subsequently, it analyzes key policy instruments based on authority, instrument shapes, and delivery. Findings indicate that Iran’s research and innovation governance has evolved into a central driver of development. Nevertheless, a diffusion-oriented pattern, focusing on resource distribution, infrastructure development, and horizontal support, prevails over the mission-oriented pattern. This pattern is manifested in the interactions of the Ministries of Science, Research and Technology and Health and Medical Education with universities, alongside the Vice-Presidency of Science, Technology and Knowledge-based Ecnomoy support for knowledge-based companies. Despite acknowledging the necessity of transitioning toward a mission-oriented approach at discursive and structural levels, implementation efforts have largely yielded limited results, except priority technologies and leading firms. This failure primarily stems from path dependency of institutions, a lack of requisite capacity to implement the mission-oriented model, and challenges within the institutional coordination framework under the external specialization pattern governing Iran. Ultimately, Iran’s experience demonstrates that in developing countries, the imperative of a mission-oriented approach juxtaposed with the institutional feasibility of its realization manifests as a paradox within the research and innovation policy environment.
