Official Stresses Need for More Efforts to Use Services of Knowledge-Based Companies 

“We should make the services of knowledge-based companies applicable so that we can help them in the export of knowledge-based content and services,” Masdari told ANA on the sidelines of ‘Asreh Omid Event' in Tehran.

“The Organization of Experts and Managers of Iran has a slogan on empowering experts, managers and entrepreneurs of the country,” he added.

Masdari noted that a weakness exists in the field of exporting technical services, linking the structures of knowledge-based companies with their foreign counterparts and selling knowledge-based services and content, adding, "Such shortages should be obviated."

“Given the fact that we have the license for establishment of acceleration centers and even investment in projects and new ideas, one of the goal of our participation in Asreh Omid Event is providing services in these fields,” Masdari said.

Iran has been experiencing a threefold growth of knowledge-based companies since beginning of the current year (starting March 21, 2022), a report said.

Based on the official figures, total number of Iran's knowledge-based companies has surpassed 7,312 which says the country has been witnessing a threefold growth in this regard.

Asreh Omid Event was held in Tehran's Mosalla from May 29 to June 1, 2022.

The event aimed to exhibit new achievements and products in the technological and innovation arenas in line with opening new windows towards strengthening the idea of creating ground for knowledge-based businesses at the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Islamic Azad University.

Some 3,000 knowledge-based companies, laboratories, research centers, and startups took part in Asreh Omid Event.
