The 27th Iran International Electronic, Computer & E-Commerce Exhibition entitled “Iran ELECOMP 2024” which was launched on Saturday at the Tehran Permanent International Fairgrounds will wrap up today.
Iran ELECOMP 2024, with the slogan of “All Together for Digital Economy”, paves the ground for showcasing the potential of new technology-based firms (NTBFs), startups, economic enterprises and companies active in the related field to introduce their latest achievements and products to help promote the country’s digital economy.
Taking advantage of the high capability and potential of the private sector more than before has been the focus of the 27th edition of the ELECOMP.
In addition, the exhibition hosts representatives of foreign countries including Russia, South Korea, Germany, Taiwan, Syria, China, Pakistan and Turkey.
More than 500 startups and nine science and technology parks are taking part in this edition of the exhibition.
ELECOMP is regarded as the most significant commercial event in Iran’s electronics and computer products and services market.
China is one of the countries that has a prominent presence in this year’s ELECOMP with many Chinese firms partaking in the exhibition.
Cao Chao, the sales director of a Chinese company who also heads the delegation from China, said 60 representatives of Chinese firms which are active in the fields of electronics and computers, mobile and digital have participated in the 27th edition of the expo to introduce their technology and products.
As many Chinese companies in the field of electronics and computers are not yet familiar with the Iranian market, so the Chinese companies present at ELECOMP 2024 have showcased their standard and well-known products and technologies so that they can develop their presence in the Iranian market, he noted.
Chao went on to say that the technologies in the exhibition were better than what he expected, the expo was well received by visitors and experts in the fields of electronics and computers, mobile and digital.
He predicted a bright future for cooperation between Iran and his country in the digital and computer fields, noting that China enjoys very amazing and smart technologies, and on the other hand, Iran is considered a very appropriate market for these technologies which welcomes modern technologies.
Talking to Iran Daily, Morteza Morsali, the head of the Iran National Innovation Fund, said that the INIF aims to commercialize innovations and inventions, make research achievements and technologies applicable, and complete the chain of ideas by providing support to NTBFs which include financial and credit services and facilities.
“Currently, there are more than 9,000 NTBFs active across the country, of which more than 2,000 ones operate in the field of electronics, computers, and digital technology,” he noted.
Another service of the fund to NTBFs is paving the ground for their presence in exhibitions, so that they can introduce their capabilities and products, and provide them with further marketing opportunities.
Elaborating on his company, Hamed Jahanshahi, the CEO of Pouyan Sanat Company, said, “Our company produces control and monitoring systems for centers such as server rooms, telecommunication halls, as well as reservoirs and cold storage facilities for food products.”
Jahanshahi explained that the system developed by his company controls and monitors environmental conditions, including temperature and humidity, electricity and voltage, as well as water leakage, floods, gas leaks and fires which can be controlled remotely.
Sarira Abolsedq, public relations specialist at Shatel Mobile Company, talked to Iran Daily about the smart technologies offered by her company, saying that as the only technology-based mobile phone operator in the country, Shatel Mobile provides automatic registration of SIM card to the network of all three radio network operators of Iran.
“By continuously analyzing the available networks in each area, it provides its SIM card users with selecting the highest quality radio network in a completely intelligent manner,” she said, adding that the technology also allows users to manually make a shift in the network any time by dialing a special code.
Talking to Iran Daily, Amin Abdol-Alizadeh, the executive manager of Bloom Group said his company operates in the field of producing mobile phones, smart bicycles and smart watches.
“We have recently started producing smart mobile sets which will hit the market in upcoming three months,” he noted.
Some other Iranian companies were present in the country’s market in the field of smartphone production, but they failed to continue, he said, adding that we are making our efforts to produce high-quality phones at much lower price than foreign es in order to keep our presence in the
market.
