According to Mehr reporter, Seyyed Mehdi Abtahi said at the 26th exhibition of research, technology and technology achievements that was held this morning on Saturday, December 22 at the Tehran International Exhibition, he said: Today, we are witnessing the presentation of a part of the country’s research and technology achievements in more than 70 universities, research institutes and research centers in the form of 12 specialized pavilions in future-building fields, including electronics and photonics, artificial intelligence, creative industries, water and environment, and new energies, achievements that have been made by science parks and The technology of the country will be presented.

He said that this year we are witnessing fundamental changes in the parks exhibition, and continued: 306 investment projects have been introduced and 24 projects are presented for investment. Also, we will witness the effective participation of 18 government and private ministries, agencies and institutions in the 7th Iranian Manufacturing Exhibition.

The head of the exhibition of research, technology and fan market achievements stated: We are all aware of the country’s bottlenecks, and we have various expectations from this exhibition, including the industry’s greater familiarity with the capabilities of researchers and TechnologistsAcquaintance of universities, research institutes and parks with the needs of the industry, effective dialogue between these two sectors, acquaintance Technologists With financing methods, government attention to needs, legal bottlenecks and support Technologiststhe activation of brokers and facilitators in coordinating demand and supply in the field of technology, and creating motivation for effective activities in research and technology institutions.

He emphasized that there should be changes in the outlook and methods on both sides of technology; He said: In the industry sector, the most important function of the knowledge-based production leap law can be attention to open innovation. In this view, the industry should establish its development by using the law of leapfrogging by establishing itself in universities and science and technology parks and taking advantage of the knowledge of academicians and the capacity of start-up companies.

He added: In this approach, instead of relying on structures that reduce their role to maintaining the production line, agile, dynamic companies familiar with innovation should be used.

Criticizing the fact that today the maximum use of the mutation law is directed at research and development units within industries and the least attention is paid to universities, Abtahi said: Innovation is born in universities and matures in parks. The main message of the knowledge-based production jump law has been financing universities and hosting them for the prosperity of the industry. By looking at open innovation, the industry can be sure of its market development and product development.

Referring to the duties of the university, he pointed out: In universities, the existence of targeted research laboratories, the definition of specific research lines, the transformation of research structures into demand-oriented structures in partnership with the industry, attention to demand-oriented theses, and the activation of technology transfer offices with the participation of parks will be a way forward.

He continued: Monitoring activities such as academic faculty members’ study opportunities in the industry is necessary to maintain these activities in the predefined path.

Abtahi emphasized that bilateral cooperation can lead to significant progress in various fields and be effective in improving people’s lives; He added: What has been achieved in defense industries can have good outputs in civilian industries so that people can feel better about the progress of the country. A country that has made great achievements in material engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical and polymer engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and emerging technologies, should not have the experience of supplying low-quality products in the civilian field. This overflow of technology occurs in the heart of parks and universities.

The Acting Vice President of Research of the Ministry of Science, emphasizing the need to change the form and content of the exhibition next year, said: knowledge-based companies and units the technologist They need an international exhibition, and the physical presentation of the achievements should be done in a more appropriate way, by using spaces and exhibition rooms. We sincerely look forward to receiving suggestions for improving the exhibition next year.
