The recent artificial intelligence event in Isfahan was a new meeting point for technology companies, investors and experts in the field of artificial intelligence and innovation. This event provided a valuable opportunity for the participants to exchange their experiences and achievements and get to know the latest in this field.
In the meantime, “Hamid Alavi”, the vice president of Shinasa Investments and one of the country’s leading venture capitalists, evaluated this event with an expert eye and examined its strengths and weaknesses.
Alavi first pointed out the good quality of the event and mentioned its good order and organization. He believes: “This event was held at a high quality level, and the presence of various companies in it showed the high capacity of this gathering.”
According to him: “Such an event has a good potential to grow and become a permanent platform, and it is even possible to hold it annually or even twice a year. This shows that the artificial intelligence event in Isfahan can become one of the main gatherings in this field in the country.”
Alavi noted: “One of the strengths of this event was the presence of large companies and businesses offering various products and services in the field of artificial intelligence. This feature helped to improve the quality level of the event and provide a space to showcase technological achievements. However, Alavi believes that some reinforcements are still needed in this event.
Weaknesses and challenges of the event; From notification to venue
One of the most important things that Alavi mentioned as the weakness of this event was the lack of information. He admitted: “As an old and active investor in this field, he only found out about the event through a friend’s Instagram post. This lack of information was such that even an official invitation was not sent to some investors.
Alavi pointed out the need to make event social networks more active and suggested: “Event news and announcements should be published regularly on social networks and the event website to make it easier for the public and interested parties to access information.” According to him, providing regular access to news and details of the event can attract more audiences and ultimately increase the level of participation and awareness of the event.
On the other hand, the location of the event was also one of the things that seemed to have room for improvement. Alavi admitted: “Despite the attractiveness of Abbasi Hotel’s space, the complexities of the place and the density of people in small spaces were sometimes annoying for visitors.”
“Holding future events in larger exhibition halls and more capacity spaces could help alleviate these problems and make it easier for visitors and presenters to use the environment,” he suggested. Also, providers will be able to present their products and services more fully and with higher quality in a more open space.”
Weakness in attracting specialists and investors
Alavi believes that despite the high potential of the event and the opportunities that were available to introduce the achievements in this field, the number of experts and investors present could have been more. He pointed out: “Weakness in informing caused a large number of activists in the field of artificial intelligence and investment to be unable to learn about this event and miss the opportunity to attend it.”
According to him: “If the notification was done in a wider way, we could see more professionals and big investors attend the event.”
Also, the presence of some of the country’s prestigious investors was empty in this event. Alavi, as one of Iran’s largest venture capitalists, said: “It was expected that other big investors would also participate in this event, so that more support would be given to startups and innovations in the field of artificial intelligence. “The absence of these big investors, especially in the sector where the need for investment and financial support was felt, is one of the shortcomings of the event.”
Alavi further pointed out the limited presence of participants from other provinces of the country. Tu believes: “This issue may have been due to the lack of information and also the restrictions that existed for participants from other provinces. If Isfahan can create a broad partnership and national synergy by attracting companies and startups from other provinces, it can promote this event to a national and even international level.”
Alavi emphasized the importance of convergence and cooperation between different organizations and institutions and believes that: “If all departments, including the elite foundation and other related organizations, join hands and organize this event jointly, this event can be considered as It has become one of the most important and comprehensive gatherings of the country in the field of artificial intelligence. From this point of view, Isfahan, considering its history and capacities in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship, can host a large and comprehensive event at the national level that includes all the provinces and cities of the country.
Future prospects and investment opportunities
Referring to the high potential of this event, he envisions a bright future for it and believes that by eliminating some shortcomings, the Isfahan Artificial Intelligence event can be considered as one of the country’s major events in this field.
Alavi emphasized: “Isfahan is at a high level in terms of capacity for innovation and entrepreneurship, and with an all-round cooperation between related institutions and organizations, this event can be turned into one of the country’s largest gatherings in the field of artificial intelligence.”
Alavi also mentioned the importance of attracting more investors in this event. He added: “As one of Iran’s largest venture capitalists, Shenasa has always tried to support startups and innovations. However, the absence of other prestigious and big investors of the country in this event indicates a weakness and the need to improve in attracting investors.
The Vice President of Sinasa Investment believes that attracting more investors can help strengthen and grow this event and provide a suitable opportunity to support innovative startups in the field of artificial intelligence.
Isfahan artificial intelligence event, despite its challenges and weaknesses, including the lack of information and the lack of attracting credible investors, has a high potential to become one of the prominent events of the country in this field. According to Hamid Alavi’s point of view, strengthening information, increasing provincial participation and attracting more investors can help to raise the level of this event.
Also, with the extensive cooperation of related institutions and taking advantage of the innovation and entrepreneurship capacities of Isfahan, it is possible to turn the artificial intelligence event into a large and effective gathering in the field of artificial intelligence and innovation in the country.
