Speech on the Future Generation at Fars Award 2024:

The theme of this event is the next generation. Iran has nearly 17 million students, and in terms of innovative activities, it ranks 62nd globally, with over 10,000 knowledge-based companies operating in the country. We are the third country in the world with the largest number of engineers and a very strong human resource capacity.

Over the past 10 years, in addition to expanding facilities at the park, we have also engaged with universities, which has sparked a large-scale entrepreneurship movement in the country. Today, Iran is recognized as one of the strongest regional hubs in terms of innovation and technology. Significant steps have been taken, including the approval of two robust laws: the Knowledge-Based Companies Law and the Leap of Knowledge-Based Companies Law.

Technology development has played a central role at Pardis Technology Park for the past 20 years. The participants of this exhibition—both companies and visitors—are primarily young people. They now have the opportunity to become future technologists and entrepreneurs. Pardis Technology Park has grown from 20 hectares 20 years ago to 500 hectares today.

During the four days of INOTEX, nearly 300 speakers will share their experiences and knowledge with the next generation. The Fars Award has provided us with an opportunity to create a bridge between Pardis Technology Park and the global advertising and communications community.
