Sattari pointed out the all-around support of the science and technology park of Kashan, emphasizing the necessity of work of this center. In this regard, he added: we can import more currency into the country by exporting the domestic products of the province.

According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, Sorena Sattari, the vice president for science and technology affairs, presented a speech in the final part of travel to Kashan in a gathering with academics and authorities of the city.

Pointing out the importance of development based on domestic components and land benefits, Sattari expressed: we need to change our attitude toward development and present a new definition for this concept. Development, regardless of indigenous features, will lead to various problems.

Mentioning the failure of the raw-selling economy, Sattari asserted: we have no other way but to rely on our intrinsic features. One of the essential foundations of this change is valuating and recognizing the actual value of entrepreneurship.

The president of the knowledge-based economy and culture-building technologies development headquarter considered the success of science and technology parks to be depending on the investment of the private sector along with government support, marking: we will make our best efforts to equip the science and technology park of Kashan. Generally, science and technology parks promise a bright future for the country.

Sattari considered the carpet, perfume and tourism industries of Kashan the most important potential capacities of this city, adding: the capable human resources are the most important asset of Kashan. Children of the dessert have intrinsic features such as a strong will and determination, which are the most important necessities for success in the field of a knowledge-based economy. We ask the people of Kashan to create the path toward sustainable development and value added by relying on their domestic benefits so that they could import currency by exporting products.

With hidden capacities in the carpet weaving area, Kashan must have a dynamic and updated industry in this field. Sattari continued: this capacity must be improved by startups in the field of information and communications technology, nano technologists and artists so that a great change is made in the carpet industry. However, this cooperation requires culture-building so that everyone would come to aid the carpet industry.

We are prepared for the investment of the private sector to develop this project since it is possible to situate two telescopes with smaller sizes in this geographical region. In this regard, the university of Kashan must have a proper program for this issue.

It is asked from all provincial authorities to cooperate with this project so that Kashan would be more emphasized as a city with a high potential in various science and technology fields, including astronomy.
