Mohammad Nabi Shahiki, Deputy Minister of Technology and Innovation, said: “The National Biotechnology Valve Plan is designed to focus on developing marine biotechnology technologies and its value chain and through networking between technology and knowledge -based companies in seven provinces.”
Mohammad Nabi Shahiki at the Gulf Science and Technology Park meeting, hosted by the Persian Gulf Science and Technology Park, said: “The share of the sea economy in GDP is only 2 %, while studies and estimates can increase by 5 %.”
The Deputy Minister of Technology and Innovation of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, referring to Iran’s unique capacities and advaages in the field of maritime economics, said: Despite having more than 5,000 kilometers of water border, the coury’s offshore capacity has not yet been fully exploited.
He added: According to global studies on the value added of the maritime economy, about 2 perce of it is for maritime tourism, 2 perce to offshore oil and gas, 2 perce to logistics, 8 perce to offshore energy and 2 perce to biotechnology, mines and maritime agriculture.
Shahiki emphasized that knowledge -based is currely a small share of the maritime economy, saying that areas such as maritime tourism, biotechnology, aquaculture, offshore energy and marine mines have a very high capacity for the developme of technological and knowledge -based activities, but so far.
Deputy Minister of Technology and Innovation of the Ministry of Science, poiing out that seven coastal provinces accou for about 2 % of the coury’s maritime border, adding that the focus on creating value chains in these provinces with biotechnology and sea -based technologies can lead to the creation of regional knowledge clusters.
Referring to the national bio -economy project, he said, the project is designed to develop a cohere biomass in the field of maritime economics by focusing on the developme of marine biotechnology technologies and its value chain and through networking between technology and knowledge companies in seven provinces.
Shahiki stated that the project is headed by the Persian Gulf Science and Technology Park, stating: In this direction, parks will have a facilitating role in market developme, empowerme and even export of technology, and holding meetings such as today’s meeting is an importa step in the path of synergy and reinforceme of bio -players.
He noted: “With an iegrated look at the dispersal of activities, we must provide the opportunity to effectively apply the capacities and resources of the coury’s coastal areas to the coury’s economic developme and increase the share of the sea economy from the national GDP.”
Emphasizing the importance of the developme of maritime -based economy in the coury, Shahiki said: Science and technology parks can play a role in the propulsion of the coury’s maritime economy value chain developme.
He added: Today’s meeting is part of a larger program called “The Valve of Sea Economics”, which is focused on the Persian Gulf Science and Technology Park, and after Bushehr, other provinces including Khuzestan, Hormozgan, Sistan and Baluchistan, Gilan, Mazandaran and Golestan will be hosted.
Deputy Minister of Science, Research and Technology coinued: Developme of maritime economics is one of the main focus of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, and in this direction, science and technology parks in the coastal provinces of the coury should act as the propulsion of the coury’s maritime economy value chain developme.
