A knowledge-based economy is one that effectively creates, acquires, adapts, and applies knowledge for economic and social development. In this type of economy, knowledge as the most important source of learning is its most important process. Also, a knowledge-based economy is an economy in which the production, distribution, and use of knowledge has a major role to generate wealth. Our country has entered the field of research in the field of the knowledge-based economy, but there is a need for planning in this field according to the strengths and weaknesses of the country. The purpose of this article is to emphasize the importance of knowledge-based economics, which at this time is characterized by rapid change and sometimes radical change. The development of this economy is impossible without the adaptation of both the people and the organizations. In this article, we develop the concept of the knowledge-based economy, elements, definition of the knowledge-based economy, stages, and formulation of basic knowledge. Therefore, in this article, we intend to "study the need to implement knowledge-based economy and its solutions in Iranian higher education institutions" and finally to provide the importance of knowledge economy and useful suggestions and solutions in this area for the country and higher education institutions.
