Today's economy is a knowledge economy, and among them, the role of knowledge-based companies in the development and application of science and in the economic growth and development of present societies as a prominent role is of particular importance. In this regard, universities as the most important vehicle for the production of science due to its special conditions and characteristics, including model and excellence for other institutions and organizations are trying to keep up with the production of science and knowledge in its application through the creation of knowledge based spinn-off companies. But like other activities in this regard, there are still obstacles that despite the efforts of this group of organs has not achieved a good and successful result so far, so this study with the approach of identifying these obstacles tries to take a step towards removing these obstcales and to facilitate the application of knowledge through universities. This research is classified as applied research in terms of purpose and descriptive survey method has been used to collect research data. The data collection tool was a questionnaire that in the first stage of identifying barriers were distributed among 80 people and in the second stage of prioritizing these barriers among experts including 12 faculty members in different fields of Hadishahr Branch of Azad University.

The results of prioritizing barriers using group AHP method showed organizational barriers is placed in the first place, respectively, environmental barriers are in the second place and individual barriers are in the third place to the establishment of university knowledge-based spin-off companies
