Iran to Send Trade, Technology Delegation to Armenia

The Center of International Science and Technology Cooperation (CISTC) will support the delegation.

Holding B2B meetings is one of the four programs of CISTC to help develop the international market of knowledge-based companies.

So far, more than 900 companies have been dispatched by the center to international exhibitions.

This year, the center plans to send 24 knowledge-based companies to different countries.

The companies will also attend business B2B meetings at the Armenia Chamber of Commerce, attend a joint meeting with unions as well as technology and innovation associations and venture capital companies, meet the directors of the Armenian organization for supporting foreign investment, and visit Armenia's free trade and technology zones.

Last year, Iran announced that an Iranian House of Innovation and Technology (IHIT) was to be established in Armenia with the aim of developing the export of Iranian knowledge-based products.

In June 2022, Armenian Ambassador to Iran Arsen Avagyan met with Iranian deputy science minister Vahid Haddadi Asl to discuss ways to broaden ties in the fields of science and technology.

The two sides underlined readiness to exchange university students, transfer technology, and create research centers.
