Less than a month after the visit of Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari and a 40-member delegation of knowledge-based and creative companies to Kenya, the East African market was opened to Iranian technological products. During this trip, the Iranian House of Technology Innovation and Export was opened in Kenya and Iranian-made products were exhibited there. Also, Iranian knowledge-based and creative companies held face-to-face meetings with their technology collections. These measures eventually led to the development of Iran's technology market in East Africa.

The products presented at the House of Technology Innovation and Export of Iran were considered by the Kenyan market and craftsmen, and for the first time, the export products of the Iranian health sector were registered in Kenya and a Kenyan identity card was issued to them.

This achievement is the result of the cooperation of the International Interaction Center of the Vice President for Science and Technology and the continuous pursuit of a specialized health agent based in the Iranian House of Innovation and Technology in Kenya.

These efforts and collaborations led to the legal registration of the products of 4 knowledge-based and creative export companies of Iran in the field of medical equipment. The process of legal registration of the products of 5 other companies in this field in the specialized systems of the Ministry of Health of Kenya is underway and this will be possible by the end of this year.

According to the official laws of Kenya, the import of any health product requires legal registration and approval from the relevant specialized system, and after registration, it will be possible to market and sell products to the Kenyan market and consequently East Africa.

 The Iranian House of Innovation and Technology in Kenya has been set up with the investment of the Vice President for Science and Technology in Kenya and as the first permanent base of the Vice President, expands Iran's innovation ecosystem to Africa as a base for creating innovative ideas, commercializing this Ideas and platform for exporting Iranian knowledge-based products and services to the East African market.
