Meanwhile, venture capitals play an important role in this regard. Therefore, the more we talk about this issue, the faster we can understand its importance. In its newest issue, the monthly educational, scientific, analytical and news journal of “Danesh-Bonyan” presents a special file on venture capitals along with other different content.

Sharif Ecosystem

“The new generation has modern concerns. They do not depend on the government for occupation or financial support. They require the government to create new policies and facilitate the establishment of a technology ecosystem.” These sentences come from the editorial of Paviz Karami, editor-in-chief of the journal, with the title of “Sharif Ecosystem” in the 23^rd issue of “Danesh-Bonyan”. He continues: “the government must create the condition for knowledge-based companies and startups to have their freedom to work, create jobs and wealth and take effective steps in the path of development of the country. We just need to pave the way for the new generation to act as entrepreneurs by producing knowledge-based products and services and use knowledge and technology in the path of wealth production.”

Emergence of New Jobs

However, Mohammad Safdari, an Iranian student in University of California, Berkeley, had an interview with “Danesh-Bonyan”, which might be interesting to the audience of the journal.
