Rouhollah Dehghani Firouzabadi added that the number of knowledge-based companies has also doubled during the period.
According to Dehghani, the increase in Iran’s knowledge-based exports in the past year indicates the proper foundation, dynamism and leapfrog growth in the innovation and technology ecosystem of the country.
Iran’s achievements in the knowledge-based sectors come at a time when the country has been under harsh sanctions imposed by the US and its allies.
