Chairman of Iran national space administration announce that they can assign the development of aerial and aviation technologies to knowledge-based companies.

According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, Manouchehr Manteghi, chairman of Iran national space administration, pointed out the benefits of assigning technology development to knowledge-based companies, stating: development of technologies can be allocated to knowledge-based companies, which are able to do this task with a significantly lower cost and higher speed.

He added: given the fact that there is a huge amount of costs in the aerial section, the government may come to the conclusion that with regard to its revenues, it cannot supply all the costs. Therefore, this important task can be assigned to the private sector.

According to Manteghi, we need to create a condition where knowledge-based companies can be active in the aerial industry with scientific standards and significantly lower costs.
