The director-general of knowledge, technology and market coordinating office commented on the plans for the exhibition: we tried to move from subsidy-oriented to consumer-oriented, by offering low-interest loans to companies and offering discounts to universities as buyers. The exhibition will be held with the participation of more than 350 companies and presenting nearly 9,000 products to universities, science centers, organizations and executive agencies and private companies.

Pointing out the concomitant holding of Iransakht Expo with the 20^th exhibition of research and technology achievements of ministry of health, he asserted: we will honor our top researchers and technologists of the country during the event and in the presence of government authorities. The Sixth Exhibition has so far sold around 110 billion Tomans of product sales, nearly 25% of which has been donated by the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs as a "subsidy" to universities and science centers.

The director-general of knowledge, technology and market coordinating office mentioned the necessity of considering screening tests, affirming: if aimed to be presented in foreign markets, the produced product must undergo standard tests at national and international levels.

With the cooperation of the Vice-Presidency, it is agreed to issue a national standard certificate or COC and COP compliance certificate according to national standards provided that the capabilities of knowledge-based (self-reported) companies are verified by the technical expert team of the standard organization (which has expertise in various areas of reference groups and laboratories).
