The current special issue, Media Entrepreneurship in Web 3.0 presents a collection of the best papers that were presented in the 2nd international conference of Research in Innovation and Technology with a focus on a business opportunity in creative industries and challenges of technological startups in acceptance of disruptive innovation.

This conference held in Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran at the 10 March 2019. A considerable number of researchers, practitioners and executive managers from the country and international community participated in this event. Two main panels, as well as two parallel panels and one workshop addressed special concerns of the innovation and business in the current period of time. The main two panels were ‘emerging business opportunities in the creative industries’ and ‘ challenges of startups to adopt disruptive innovations’. The former hosted and sponsored by the ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and latter by ‘Iran National Science Foundation’ and ‘Sarirland Accelerator’. In parallel panels, presentations done in physical appearance as well as virtual presentation, to use technology and innovation for a hybrid form of conference.

As the members of the presidential board of this conference, we hope this event will create continued dialogue between Iranian scholars in the field and international community. Collaborative research projects among researchers from different countries, such as what can be seen in this special issue, promise that aim of this conference to bridge between researchers of international community has been partially met.
