Report on the Results:  In order to outreach and advance space science and technology among students and enthusiasts, Iranian Space Agency (ISA) held a one-day seminar about Iranian CubeSat Competition for university students. One of the main aims of this seminar was to introduce entrepreneurship concepts in space field. This seminar was held on Saturday, 7th of October 2017 at the Ministry of ICT where the President of ISA, and the secretary of Iranian CubeSat Student Competition, around 70 CubeSat competition students and Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) contest winners attended. This seminar had two sessions; first about the entrepreneurship activities in space field and second session was Critical Design Review (CDR) presentations of participating teams. The President of ISA discussed the aims of WSW and mentioned the cooperation with 17 governmental organizations, universities and research centers including Disaster Management Organization, Meteorological Organization, National Geography Organization and Offices of Ministry of Education at different cities for WSW activities in Iran. He continued due to a global increasing trend in miniaturizing satellites, ISA has a special insight towards CubeSats and that is the reason behind holding Iranian CubeSat Student Competition. He welcomed the innovative ideas for missions of CubeSats and emphasized on the necessity of cooperation between teams that will result in obtaining a cooperative mechanism for achieving national and international goals. He continued that this student CubeSat competition has been suggested as one of the APSCO projects which was approved and China as the host country will provide launch facilities in 2020. This event continued by CDR presentations of 5 participating teams (Amirkabir CubeSat, Sevtak, Pluto, TabrizSat and Nasir1) about their designed missions. In the end, the finalists of APSCO Youth Space Contest 2017, "Future Space Homeland", presented their project and were awarded by ISA. This competition was held on 15-21 July 2017 at Beijing Bayi school and over 30 students from APSCO member states consisting of Iran, China, Turkey, Pakistan, Thailand, Peru, Mongolia and Bangladesh participated and the Iranian team won the third place and was awarded by APSCO.
