Raisi: More knowledge-based companies create more jobs
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Monday that the establishment of more knowledge-based companies will lead to the creation of more jobs in the country.
He made the remarks during a visit to an exhibition of knowledge-based products at the Iran House of Innovation and Technology (iHiT) in the capital, Tehran, which was attended by managers of the Presidential Department for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy. About 689 companies showcased over 2,000 innovative and knowledge-based products at the exhibition.
Addressing the managers, the Iranian president emphasized the importance of the department’s role in the creation of jobs for the country’s educated people, which is one of the country’s main priorities.
Raisi praised the “valuable” measures taken by the Department for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy. However, he said that much still needs to be done.
He said that the department should first focus on meeting the needs of the country and at the same time have a look at the scientific progress in the region and the world so that the country does not fall behind. Iran House of Innovation and Technology (iHiT), which is also active in Kenya, Syria, China, Russia, China, Uzbekistan, Turkey and Iraq, is under the supervision of the Presidential Department for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
