Stating that the fields of cultural heritage and knowledge and technology have many fundamental similarities, he said: two fundamental values have been placed in human existence, one is "science" and the other is "art". Science is the mother of all technologies and innovations and art, the mother of ancient works, handicrafts and our cultural heritage, and these two sources are the deposits placed in our existence as humans, and everything that originates from these two is attractive.

The head of the National Elites Foundation stated that the result of the combination of science and business is the formation of a knowledge-based and technological company, and continued: One of the similarities between the people of science and the people of art is right here, and both groups are not very good at market and business, but in the company of people who are familiar with the market and economy can be the founders of technology-oriented companies and the technology industry. In the same way, the combination of business and cultural heritage leads to the formation of the cultural heritage industry.

Dehghani stated that in these two areas, we have very valuable investments and are among the global indicators, adding: the audience and customers of both areas are from the elite society, because these two are among the elite-oriented and so-called prestigious areas, and this is the common denominator of science and art. These areas are also both productive and value-creating areas in the world economy and play a significant role in the gross national product of developed countries.

Referring to the role of industries and creative companies in the creation of added value, employment and gross domestic product in the connection of art and technology with the market, the vice president of science, technology and knowledge-based economy said: if art, technology and business are combined with each other, we will witness a new phenomenon and will be the name of the creative industry and this place is the intersection of art and technology.

Referring to the support of creative companies and cultural industries in the direction of employment development, value creation and helping to preserve the country's cultural assets, Dehghani said: a new achievement that has been achieved by creative companies in cooperation with the General Staff of the Armed Forces to support the growth, prosperity and sustainability of the country and use of military service facilities in these companies. Considering that most of the founders and managers of these companies are young people, supporting military training in creative companies was a vital need for the survival of these businesses, which with the assistance of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and for the first time, 200 quotas were given to applicants of creative companies. allocated; An issue that can help the sustainability of the elites of these companies on the one hand and the sustainability of the company in the ecosystem of creative industries.

The areas have been concluded and I hope that it will bear fruit and bring valuable contributions to the field of creative industry, cultural heritage and handicrafts of the country. My suggestion is to reach a conclusion on some common interests of the parties and follow up on it directly.
