  Examining the trend of the global economy shows that global trade is moving
towards high-tech products. Given that these products generate very high added
value, countries that can produce and export these products will have high
growth in the industrial sector. The importance of investing in advanced
technologies for economic and social growth and development is so great that it
is mentioned as one of the strong levers to achieve development. It should be
noted that the policy of developing advanced technologies requires
consideration of various performance aspects, risks and future risks in the
investment phase. Risk related to high-tech investment projects has a meaning
other than financial concepts only. In recent years, researchers have focused
on identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing risk. There are two important
components in measuring investment risk in high-tech industries, which include
identifying the characteristics and criteria for measuring system risk and how
to measure them. This study tries to evaluate and rank the investment risks in
advanced industries using fuzzy TOPSIS technique based on verbal variables.
