So far, different patterns of innovation ecosystems have been formed, of which "Innovation Areas" are the most recent. These areas have quickly appeared in urban areas around the world and have attracted the attention of scholars by creating a transformation in innovation and regional economy. In Iran, areas called "Innovation Areas" are emerging. However, the number of studies that have provided a detailed picture of this concept is few. This research identifies and explains the components of the concept of "Innovation Area" by reviewing the conducted research. Thus, 59 scientific pieces of research were studied in the meta-combination method, and a model consisting of four main components of this concept, including works and consequences, supporting theories, functions, and actors, was presented; Finally, implications for the policy of "Innovation Areas" in Iran have been pointed out. Paying attention to the role of universities in creating an "Innovation Areas" management body, policy making in the field of real estate to attract the cooperation of active companies in this field, identifying potential areas through the evaluation of regional network assets, facilitating the establishment of start-up companies in places with residential use, facilitating the creation of innovation districts around Universities, and reducing the risk of creating start-up businesses through the creation of co-working space and temporary accommodation are among these implications.
