During the visit, Sattari told the Uzbek delegation that innovative and creative economy is a top priority for Iran, adding,”Now, one of the prongs of interaction with neighboring countries and presence in the international arena is the products, services and technologies offered by knowledge-based companies.”
Sattari also said currently, there are more than 10,000 startups in Iran, which are among the top ones in the fields of ICT, biotechnology, laboratory equipment, nanotechnology and aerospace, and have placed Iran’s technology and innovation ecosystem at the top of the best.
Sattari further maintained that more than 98% of the country’s needs are produced inside Iran with the help of knowledge-based companies.
Then, Sattari’s deputy outlined issues related to joint projects that Iran could have with Uzbekistan in the transportation industry.
He said the projects include production of a prototype of an 8-person helicopter, a 72-seater aircraft with a jet engine, land and water aircraft, airport equipment, cars, motorcycles and electric buses.
