The concept of windows of opportunity is more focused on the development of innovation. Nevertheless, it seems that in emerging countries, companies should first use these windows of opportunity in technological learning to reduce their gap with advanced firms. The accumulation of technical capabilities based on the use of technological learning strategies can provide the basis for the development of the innovation capabilities of companies. The improvement of this capability will have a direct and positive effect on reducing the gap between latecomers and the developed world. Iran's steel industry seems to have been relatively able to use these windows of opportunity and achieve innovation capabilities in some processes. Based on this, reviewing the experience of this industry can have lessons learned for other mineral industries as well. Based on this, in this research, using the case study and content analysis, it has been tried to investigate and explain the opportunities for technological learning in three dimensions: institutional, market and technology. The results showed that this industry has benefited more from the windows of opportunity for learning in the institutional and technological windows and has not been able to use the window of opportunity of demand in the development of technology.
