According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, as the moving engine of economy, entrepreneurship is a factor for development of wealth, knowledge and occupation creation. In other words, entrepreneurship is one of the important factors in economic safety of Iran. Iran must use the God-given opportunity of having long sea borders and apply the sea as the basis of development and progress.

Today, tourism is recognized as an industry with high job creation and profitability potentials. In many countries, this industry has been turned into one of the major aspects of development. Being attracted to seas by all age groups (children and adults) can create a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to enter the marine tourism industry.

To this end, Persian Gulf University aimed to hold the “second national event of marine entrepreneurship with a tourism approach” with the cooperation of the workgroup of marine knowledge-based technology and industry development headquarter of Bushehr and Persian Gulf science and technology park with the goal of empowering of creative graduates and youth with considerable ideas.

In this event, which will be held with the support of soft and identity-making technologies development headquarter, real business opportunities, needs and challenges of marine tourism industry will be presented. At the end, achievements of investors and industrialists of this region (as facilitator or shareholder) will be presented.

It is noteworthy that this event has two sections of high school and university students. The university student section includes presenting ideas, holding specialized educational workshops on tourism, and writing commercial plans and their assessment. On the other hand, the high school student section will be held as a side event and will only include presenting ideas and their assessment.
