According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, Alireza Daliri, deputy for management development and resources, pointed out the evaluations performed on the VC activities by custodian organizations, expressing: according to practical evaluations, we have realized that over the past three years, more than 18 thousand billion rials worth of VC has occurred in the country. Considering zero activities in this field before that, this output can be a significant figure for the country.

Daliri continued: the Vice-Presidency has aimed to develop the current statistics on the VC of the country. Therefore, we have negotiated with all large economic complexes so that the foundation of VC is more developed.

He also emphasized the positive performance in the field over the past few years, affirming: we need to come to a place where the priority of knowledge-based companies is investment instead of loans and VC can financially support knowledge-based companies. Therefore, we hope that with the formed cooperation between the Vice-Presidency and various units from one hand and creation of the foundation to develop research and technology funds on the other hand, we hope to witness an accelerated improvement in investment in new technology field in the next few years.

He also focused on the priority of the Vice-Presidency, which is venture capitals in the country, asserting: the nature of knowledge-based and startup activities in the area of venture capitals is an important issue and covers the risks of the field.

Daliri pointed out that one of the important issues in the area of knowledge-based is the issue of VCs in the country. In this regard, he claimed: the projects recognized as innovative knowledge-based projects are among the high-risk projects. Therefore, there is no normal investment foundation for these projects.

The deputy for management development and resources mentioned: the VC issue is a separate topic in the world and acts independently, compared to other forms of investments. This is mainly due to the fact that the teams active in this area must have a high ability to risk. In addition, the projects must often have an ability to risk. 

Therefore, enthusiasts of the field must decrease the risk of VC as much as possible and know that in case of lack of proper management, their project may fail.

Daliri pointed out the role of Vice-Presidency in the area of VCs, expressing: by the follow-ups of the Vice-Presidency and signing an agreement with the stock exchange market, new foundations can be created in the form of capital market with the stock exchange budget of Iran and act as venture capital funds.
