"Connect" is a platform for benefiting from elite human resources

Referring to the creation of a platform for using the capacity of the media to reflect the capabilities of knowledge-based companies and the capabilities of this economy in employment and creating added value, the head of the National Elites Foundation said: We believe that the media can play a key and strategic role in reflecting the achievements and capabilities of companies. Based on this, we welcome the serious and continuous interaction of the headquarters with the media and we are ready to expand this interaction. We believe that not only the achievements of the headquarters should be made public, but the success of knowledge-based companies in the field of business, employment and market development should also be reflected, because the introduction of these achievements can be motivating, encouraging and ultimately persuading and guiding elite human resources and be able to work in the knowledge-based field.

Dehghani, referring to planning to attract, perpetuate or utilize the capacity of Iranian elites inside and outside the country and the need to create coordination in the approach of all institutions towards the non-resident Iranian elites, said: the first step is to establish the working environment and influence of the elites to optimize the country. More than 70% of the elites have admitted that what gives them the motivation and desire to work and stay is the opportunity to influence and play a role in solving the problems of their country. One of the biggest platforms for the influence of the elites are these knowledge-based companies, and above all, it is necessary to create a market for these companies. We believe that the scientific vice-chancellor, as a mediator of the government, can bring upstream and governance policies to the people and companies, also the Vice Presidency can connect the market capacity of devices to the downstream circles, i.e., knowledge-based companies.

He considered the cooperation program with international experts and entrepreneurs titled "Connect" as a strategic measure to increase the interaction, attraction and permanence of non-resident Iranian elites and added: This program has been seriously reformed and upgraded this year and the approach of this program has moved in a direction. It is found that the Iranian elite human force is considered as the ambassadors of knowledge, technology and innovation in all parts of the world and to use their capacity anywhere in the world. Many of these people are willing to provide their help and services to their country in any part of the world, and this opportunity has been provided to them in the form of cooperation program with experts and entrepreneurs.

A platform for allocating special infrastructures and facilities to knowledge-based companies

The vice president of science, technology and knowledge-based economy, referring to the priority of infrastructure for the activities of knowledge-based companies, said: as a mediator and supporter of the development of science, technology and knowledge-based economy in the country, it is seriously obliged to provide all-round support to companies We know the scientists and other activists of the technology and innovation ecosystem. In this regard, we have also tried to attract the cooperation and synergy of the devices to support and allocate your facilities to these companies.

Referring to the promotion of the production working group for the first time in the Vice-Presidency of Science, he said: This working group has been promoted to the level of three deputy members and the necessary planning for review, expertise and announcement of the results of the review of applications has been done in a precise manner within a maximum of one month. A dynamic and proactive structure has been defined in this working group to actively attract the capacities and participation of the devices in the new approach of this process.

Dehghani said about market building as the biggest tool of science, technology and knowledge-based economy and continued: The biggest requirement for the realization of the market of companies is to bring all the devices to work. We must bring big players in every field. We need big and capable companies to solve the shortcomings of big measures, and this can be solved by joining knowledge-based companies in a specific field and by creating knowledge-based consortia, and simorghs consisting of knowledge-based companies can bring about huge changes in different subject areas.
